Is the mixed format case really possible? Last time I looked there were problems, such as different tags using attributes with the same name but with different semantics. I thought we were close last time I looked, but not quite there.

`Content-Type: text/xml; qs=0.9`. Hurray...


I could fix that... question is, to what? :)

The Atom spec says Atom docs are identified using the Atom media type, but I don't see anything like a 'SHOULD NOT' regarding serving them with other types. In the mixed-format case of an instance being both valid RDF, and valid Atom, we get into pragmatics. RDF tools wouldn't know it was RDF/XML since Atom doesn't allow a toplevel rdf:RDF wrapper element as foreign markup. But Atom tools also have a claim on the content type. Maybe it could be content- negotiable? Something
for everybody...?
