All the feeds I've been looking through use RSS, darn it, but my reading of 6.3 of RFC 4287 is that "foreign markup" is explicitly permitted and processors are required not to break when they see it. This seems to be the opinion of the atomenabled folks too: <http://www.atomenabled.org/developers/syndication/#extensibility > Here's an example which the W3C's feed validator <http://validator.w3.org/feed/ > considers valid. --- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"; xmlns:pkg="http://opensolaris.org/ips/atom";> <!-- non-pkg content taken from wikipedia's Atom example --> <title>Example Feed</title> <subtitle>A subtitle.</subtitle> <link href="http://example.org/feed/"; rel="self"/> <link href="http://example.org/"/> <updated>2003-12-13T18:30:02Z</updated> <author> <name>John Doe</name> <email>[EMAIL PROTECTED]</email> </author> <id>urn:uuid:60a76c80-d399-11d9-b91C-0003939e0af6</id> <entry> <title>Atom-Powered Robots Run Amok</title> <link href="http://example.org/2003/12/13/atom03"/> <id>urn:uuid:1225c695-cfb8-4ebb-aaaa-80da344efa6a</id> <updated>2003-12-13T18:30:02Z</updated> <summary>Some text.</summary> <pkg:attribute name="opensolaris.maintainer">Jane Doe</ pkg:attribute> <pkg:attribute name="ISA">i386</pkg:attribute> </entry> </feed> --- Cheers, Chris _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
