Hi, on the NewsML list, an issue came up that due to they lack of a MIME type for NewsML using NewsML as Atom content is somewhat problematic[1]; I think this is the case with most of the more interesting XML applications out there. Is there any chance to extend/revise Atom to allow an

To turn it a bit around: Would you ever want to subscribe to a single Atom Entry? If not, wouldn't it be good to know that it was an Atom Entry and not an Atom Feed before you started subscribing to it? This is misleading wording (and maybe part of the overall problem)! Following a link

Maybe this perspective helps: Is there any other media type that covers more than one document type (root element in the case of XML, but could also be non-XML mime types)? It would be interesting to see how those (if any) deal with the issue. An example would maybe be iCalendar, Ithink.
