I punted and put myself as the author. I will probably go back and change it to use Anonymous as I outlined above. -joe -- Joe Gregoriohttp://bitworking.org

Well yes, and there's always: The title of this feed is "The Stuff" and the first entry it contains is titled "Hello World" from 1st February, and that has the content "... What did you end up implementing for the Wiki? I've no objection to this being dropped from the core in its current (misleading) form, I think it would probably cause more trouble than it's worth. The use case is nice and clear though - this could make an exccellent extension demo. Cheers, Danny. -- http://dannyayers.com

I thought atom:host was made redundant by the combination of HeadInEntry and FeedLink... bob wyman

I believe atom:host is the long lost descendent of atom:ipaddr, which came from the problem I had implementing Atom on wiki, where the 'author' of an entry can be difficult to pin down and the ip address may be the only information available. If atom:host is what the 'solution' has morphed into, than I'd rather see it dropped. When putting together a feed for a wiki in Atom I could just as easily set the atom:name element to: Anonymous or Anonymous (from IP: aaa.bbb.ccc.) -joe -- Joe Gregoriohttp://bitworking.org
