I'm going to consider this a little further over Christmas. Right
now, the hAtom spec does not define author (or contributor) at the
feed level. This is an ommission, but I was concerned with making
the minimal set of rules I could make.
Here's what I was/am thinking:
- the page also represents feed data; this is the reality of most
blogs and there's a nice parsimony in not duplicating the information
- have you seen a blog where the Author is specified outside the
entries (and not in the entries)? I.e. are we inventing edge cases
that don't really exist?
Yes. Many personal blogs will have author data in one place on the
page (like mine, in the footer: http://theryanking.com/blog/).
That's not to say that what you're suggesting isn't a bad idea:
that author/contributor are brought in IF they appear within the feed.
