Two minor editorial suggestions (Was: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-atompub-protocol-09.txt)

2006-06-29 Thread Andreas Sewe


Well, the subject says it all; here they are:

- It were nice if the example in 7.1 would include @xml:lang, since both 
 workspace/@title and collection/@title are Language-Sensitive. 
Granted, there might be a Content-Language response header (not shown) 
to do the job, but IMHO the example would benefit from making language 
information explicit.


- The proposed file extension for APP Introspection Documents (.atomsrv) 
and its media type (application/atomserv+xml) are inconsistent. It would 
IMHO be better to use either atomsrv or atomserv consistently in 
both file extension and media type. Everything else is just confusing 
for no good reason.

FWIW, I have set the Reply-To to atom-protocol, since it seems to be the 
more appropriate list to discuss these things -- not that it really 
matters, given the overlap between atom-syntax's and atom-protocol's 
audiences...

+1.

Which are clients supposed to respect in a conflict, the 
Content-Language header or the xml:lang, ie, does XML On The Web Failing 
 Miserably, Utterly, And Completely extend to Content-Language+xml:lang?

I have no strong prefs here (other than liking application/app+xml).

xml:lang, if you think of xml being nested.

in other words, what is the lang of the atom:content below:


HTTP 200 OK
Content-Language: ch
...

feed xml:lang=fr ...
entry xml:lang=it
content xml:lang=en ...
...
/content
...
/entry
...
/feed

e.

Hi Eric,

I guess my next question is - do we need to tell people this in the 
protocol spec, or should I Just Know That, Utterly, And Completely ?


cheers
