I need some help understanding the spec in regards to "fat pings" (or what I think is a fat ping, anyway).
Section 4 of the Core Draft #3 states: "The Publisher makes the decision as to include full body, truncated body, or meta data of most recent event(s). One of: URL + metadata URL + metadata + truncated URL + metadata + full" with the last option being the content that is new. However, there has been some concern lately (http://groups.google.com/group/pubsubhubbub/browse_thread/thread/a5a516521ed64cf9) about the lack of fat pings and the rest of the spec seems to gloss over this decision that could be made by the publisher. So, is it just standard (in practice?) that the publisher isn't likely to push full content in a notification? And instead they are willing to deal with the thundering hurd? Guess I'm just looking for some clarity on this part of the spec - seems like it is a possibility according to Sec 4, but as stated, the rest of the spec doesn't mention much about publishers/hubs dealing with this scenario. Thanks! andy
