1. Is xml:base processing applied to the schema attribute of a Category
   Construct?

2. Why MUST a feed point to an alternate version. What if the feed is all
   I publish?

3. 4.2.2 says

   atom:head elements MUST NOT contain more than one atom:link element
   with a rel attribute value of "alternate" that has the same type
   attribute value.

   What if the atom:link elments have different hreflang values?

4. 5.14 says

   If an atom:entry is copied into one feed from another feed, then the
   atom:head element of the source feed SHOULD be inserted into the
   atom:entry unless the entry, as copied, already contains an atom:head...

   This suggests that atom:head is sometimes a child of atom:entry,
   but that doesn't seem to be allowed. Did I miss something?
   Or is it supposed to say that the contents of the head are
   copied into the entry?

5. 7.1 says

   Processing [W3C.REC-xmldsig-core-20020212].  Other XML signature
   mechanisms MUST NOT be used on the document element of an Atom
   document.

   Are we sure we want to prohibit them? How about making this a SHOULD
   and pointing out that processors are not required to recognize any
   mechanisms except XML DSig? Other mechanisms will be developed.
   Some of them may become widely deployed. Do we really want to force
   authors to generate non-conformant feeds when they decide to use
   them?

   I feel the same way about XML 1.1, fwiw, but I expect I'd lose that
   fight, so I'll just mention it in passing.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
