I have raised this question a few times. The issue is separating the "resource" from its "representation". A single resource (e.g. a football game) may have many representations (audio only, slide show, audio/video, etc.). We would need a more sophisticated link mechanism to separate resources from representations.
Is anyone else interested in this? Can this be done with an extension module?

Nicholson-Owens Sent: Sunday, November 06, 2005 11:34 PM To: ATOM syntax mailing list Subject: How to specify multiple alternative encodings of the same content? I maintain NewsFromNeptune.com, a website which points to an archive of recordings of a weekly political talk show called "News from Neptune". I'm considering using ATOM so listeners can be notified about new episodes entering the archive. I'd like to be able to tell the user's software that there are multiple encodings of the same show, one in Ogg Vorbis, another in FLAC, and a third in Speex. Given a URI to each encoding, the client could pick which one is appropriate for downloading. How do I specify this in ATOM? Thanks.
