> Are you saying that Atom 1.0 should not be extendable at all? Paul: Not at all. I'm simply saying that "must understand" gives influential publishers the power to force the hands of developers, something that RSS (wisely) doesn't provide.
In addition, I have a philosophical objection, which I touched on briefly in my last message. Atom feeds should contain well-formed entries... if an entry requires non-core elements to make it minimally useful, I'd argue it isn't well-formed, and the use of Atom was ill-advised. -- Roger Benningfield
