Some thoughts - It seems very likely to me that Atom will evolve over time. - For some applications, changing the namespace name with every version is entirely impractical. Atom may or may not be in this category. Do feeds become legacy? Are people storing entries with the expectation that

In its present form, I want to get rid of the version attribute. That's not to say that I don't want something with more useful semantics, on a separate axis from the namespace. So, +1 to the Pace. On Feb 3, 2005, at 1:18 PM, Norman Walsh wrote: Some thoughts - It seems very likely to me that
