Yes, sometimes it's better to insert blog articles concerning off-topic
items with old dates to help Googlers while keeping the subject material
on the blog's front page the same. If we can make it so the Atom feed
doesn't give the appearance that anything has recently changed when
someone adds a blog article with a date 6 months ago that would be good
IMO. Since Roller already allows pre-dating of new blog articles, the
Atom and RSS feeds should be consistent with that if possible.

The <feed> level <update> element reflects the last time that the Weblog
itself was updated. Here's the template:
<updated>$utils.formatIso8601Date($model.weblog.lastModified)</updated>
I can't remember why we decided to do that and I'm not sure that is really
what we want. Might be better to use the last entry publish time there, or
the last comment post-time, depending on what type of feed it is.

Which Pub Time do you mean? Do you mean the feed-level <update> element or
the <entry> element's <update>?
I think <update> is a required field in Atom and my feed (running a post
5.0 dev build) validates:

I specific a Pub Time for an entry in the past as I am back-filling my
blog with some old stuff.
The regular page and rss feeds look fine and show the date I entered
but the atom feed is showing today's date.
Is this something I can configure, or a bug?
Thanks,
Matt
