Thanks everyone. I'll try to reply to every comment individually. (removed original comments to keep it short) David: I wasn't suggesting replacing atom/rss... I wanted to ask for use-cases or motivation to markup content that is also available through atom/rss feeds with hatom. My English

2008/5/28 André Luís [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Mark Ng: Whoa! Never thought of that... it would be cool if there was a way to paginate hatom feeds like xfn with rel=next. Is there? You just described it yourself ;). I'm not sure whether anyone is already doing it that way though. Mark

I guess I did. :) I always thought of rel=next as a xfn-only thing. Maybe rel=next could be made a recommendation to establish links between pages containing streams of uf's. Generically. This is very infinite-loop-prone, though. Parsers could allow following that stream or not. I don't see

*smacks forehead* Of course! Makes perfect sense. Why not extend this to other formats? hatom, rel=hfeed next hcalendar, rel=hcalendar next Since both formats have a root node to encapsulate several hentry|vevent, it would be (AFAIK) semantically correct. It would allow parsers to do a better

hAtom is microformat for adding semantic information to HTML microcontent, identifying information such as the content, summary, author, title and so forth. It is not and never has been intended to replace Atom or RSS feeds. Regards, etc... David On Tue, May 27, 2008 at 5:30 PM, André Luís
