It would have been the ideal workflow - but it looks like Atom feeds validate online without it, or with an empty href value attached. I'll still use it where it's available though, otherwise I've shifted to simply checking if the result is a valid feed (of whatever type). Might be some otherway of tracking any movements from my http client.

I'm doing this same "anti-aliasing" of feed URLs by using //atom:feed/id elements. The "self" link (which is in the 0.2 spec) doesn't work right in practice, methinks. Not sure how well we'll define this for 0.3 though. -Brett On Mon, Oct 19, 2009 at 4:18 PM, Pádraic Brady <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Tim, > > Not sure if its relevant in terms of the reference hub, but my Subscriber > has trouble with your feed.
