One's publication of data on the Internet must never be seen as obligating another to act in the absence of some prior agreement to do so. Thus, it is not correct to say that a receiver of a tombstone "should delete the corresponding entries." RFC 6721<http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6721> wisely and explicitly states: > Publishers of feeds containing at:deleted-entry elements should note that > *the at:deleted-entry element is advisory in nature only*, and it may be > ignored by Atom Processors.
