The proto-xep doesn't explicitly restrict the use of Atom elements. Can we assume that it is permitted to use elements from Atom that are not in the examples? For instance, if I wanted to use this protocol for something "larger" than a microblog entry, couldn't I just insert a summary or content element or anything else that is permitted by Atom? If so, I suggest that you simply state that the size constraint of 140 characters is enforced on the title element only. You would also say that publishers should expect that many clients would only display the title. Also: Does anyone know, is the Twitter limit 140 "characters" or 140 "bytes"? characters != bytes... bob wyman
