Speaking of which, I'm not very happy about it, but I just sent off an updated version of the Feed thread draft for publication that does away with the thr;count and thr:when attributes on the link and introduces a thr:replies element. The example below appears within the updated draft, <feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"; xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0";> <id>tag:example.org,2006</id> <title>Entries and Comments</title> ... <entry> <id>tag:example.org,2006:1</id> <title>My Post</title> <updated>2006-05-01T08:08:08Z</updated> <link rel="replies" href="/comments" type="application/atom+xml" /> <thr:replies ref="tag:example.org,2006:comments" label="Comments and Trackbacks" count="2" updated="2006-05-01T12:12:12Z"/> <thr:replies ref="tag:example.org,2006" label="Follow-ups and Corrections" count="1" updated="2006-05-01T09:09:09Z" /> ... </entry> <entry> <id>tag:example.org,2006:2</id> <title>My Second Post</title> <updated>2006-05-01T09:09:09Z</updated> <link rel="replies" href="/comments" type="application/atom+xml" /> <thr:replies ref="tag:example.org,2006:comments" label="Comments and Trackbacks" count="1" updated="2006-05-01T10:10:10Z" /> <thr:in-reply-to ref="tag:example.org,2006:1" /> ... </entry> </feed> As you can see from the example, the thr:replies/@ref attribute points to an atom:id value, and not the URI used by the link. When going through and trying to implement the original concept with href, the xml:base issues proved to be more hassle than it was worth. Look for the updated draft to publish in the next day or so. - James
