Yes.


Meaning that it is somewhat difficult to identify Atom elements with  
URIs:


http://www.w3.org/2005/Atomauthor
http://www.w3.org/2005/Atomconributor



Isn't that only relevant for RDF vocabularies?



Was that simply a mistake or a design feature when Atom was standardized?


It wasn't really relevant, I'd say. (That it says Atom and not atom  
was a mistake.)

No, it's relevant for all types of XML work, from XLink to Topic Maps
to XHTML. But there's a difference between http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom
used as a namespace declaration and a document pointer, though. For a
lot of us data modeling types it would be good to use bits of the Atom
spec in controlled vocabularies, for example, and we mix these types
of models up all the time. Umm, at least I do. :)

Thinks I asked for a trailing '/' at some point;  certainly for 
fnalising APP, I want a trailing '/'.

I'd agree.  Sigh.  But not a big one, I think -Tim

Hi,

is it really true that the Atom namespace is http://www.w3.org/2005/ 
Atom ?
