Can I just make sure we're all thinking the same thing? Using James' example:

    POST /myblog/entries HTTP/1.1
    Host: example.org
    Content- Type: image/png
    Title: A picture of the beach

    {binary data}

I get back

    HTTP/1.1 201 Created
    Date: Fri, 7 Oct 2005 17:17:11 GMT
    Content- Type: application/atom+xml; charset="utf-8"


    Content- Location: http://example.org/edit/first-post.atom

Above is an assumption that the entry for the img is pointed to by Content-Location. This is a SHOULD. What if someone doesn't follow the specification? More's the point under what circumstances do we think SHOULD can't be followed?

(I dislike seeing the same thing said in two different places. Equates to optionality)

      <author><name>John Doe</name></author>

Above is magic. Do we need an Author header?

    </entry>

Also needs a summary - what to use - the title? Do we need a Summary header?

I'm still -1 on the edit-source thing.
