Strongly, when you talk of the best advocacy being through demonstration. The MS extension is a little unusual in that it impacts other elements (giving them a datatype), it's an architectural forms kind of thing. But I *think* it'll still play ok in Atom. Hopefully someone will have time to look deeper. Has anyone done Yahoo!'s Media RSS as Atom yet, btw?

I didn't say the applications that could be built with the extensions are boring... I said the extensions themselves were boring. In other words, while I (and quite a few others it would appear) would have done it differently, they're so minimal and simple that there's really not a lot to debate about 'em. The real question is going to be whether or not MS will make changes to the approach based on community feedback. - James
