* FOR THE ARCHIVES ONLY -- CORRECTION OF AN ERROR ON A NOW DEAD DISCUSSION. DON'T WORRY ABOUT READING THIS *
While on the topic of mis-reads (see April 20th response to James Snell re: Known FeedDemon issue? if reading this in the archives and actually care enough to seek out proper context), I need to repent of this misread: My response: >> and here I was holding this inside of me as I always assumed >> "obviously it's implemented for a reason".... >> This makes me happy :) Thanks Sam! came from reading this: > > As late as this morning, all link/@href attributes in my Atom feed > > contained absolute URIs. skimming to this: > > It would be helpful if people were to update: > > > > http://intertwingly.net/wiki/pie/XmlBaseConformanceTests and assuming this was Sam simply stating that using full URI's should be considered a best practice. The next day I reread and realized my mistake, but decided then to just let it be. But in realizing that people might read the archives and walk away completely baffled by my response I decided it would be best to get this error properly documented. On 3/31/06, M.
