It wasn't really relevant, I'd say. (That it says "Atom" and not "atom" 
was a mistake.)


I'd agree.  Sigh.  But not a big one, I think -Tim

Meaning that it is somewhat difficult to identify Atom elements with URIs:

http://www.w3.org/2005/Atomauthor
http://www.w3.org/2005/Atomconributor



Was that simply a mistake or a design feature when Atom was standardized?


Thinks I asked for a trailing '/' at some point;  certainly for 
fnalising APP, I want a trailing '/'.

No, it's relevant for all types of XML work, from XLink to Topic Maps
to XHTML. But there's a difference between http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom
used as a namespace declaration and a document pointer, though. For a
lot of us data modeling types it would be good to use bits of the Atom
spec in controlled vocabularies, for example, and we mix these types
of models up all the time. Umm, at least I do. :)

Hi,

is it really true that the Atom namespace is http://www.w3.org/2005/ 
Atom ?


Meaning that it is somewhat difficult to identify Atom elements with  
URIs:


http://www.w3.org/2005/Atomauthor
http://www.w3.org/2005/Atomconributor



Was that simply a mistake or a design feature when Atom was

Thanks,

Jan
