+0. I have no particular agenda on this other than helping to move it forward if that's what folks want. I will note, however, that the overall response to PaceResurrectAutodiscovery was positive and there seemed (to me at least) to be interest in at least discussing the future of the draft. So p

I personally just think it's way too early for us to really be able to say much about it. So far the APP implementations that have actually been deployed seem to work rather consistently in that I can get a single client (e.g. Abdera) to work with each with very little effort and only minor varia

Abdera has basic support for the extension elements and the paging links (including prev-archive and next-archive). It does not yet include an implementation of the feed reconstruction algorithm but will shortly. The implementation is part of the optional extensions module. - James Mark Notting
