Robert: Two things: (1) By "TiVo users", I was referring to the folks inhabiting TiVo's official message boards... my scraped, title-only feeds were better suited for a high-traffic forum than the native feeds produced by vBulletin or whatever they're using. So just to clarify, I was *not* referring to apps running on a TiVo box itself. The only non-hack RSS reader currently running on the TiVo platform just uses a proxy to access Bloglines, and therefore doesn't have any unique preference for or against summary-free feeds. (2) I support the notion of an Atom Processor. Tim's proposed language implies that dropping content-free entries on the floor is a failure to function correctly, which is misleading. Defining the distinction between "a thing that is looping over a series of XML entries to extract data" and "a thing that is displaying, manipulating, or otherwise making use of that data" would be useful. -- Roger Benningfield
