Does anyone know of an extension or mechanism that can
indicate whether a given feed is a complete representation of the content it
encompasses, or is just a summary?
Here is the use case:
Both LiveJournal and TypePad
give users the option of not

No I suppose not. But there are edge cases where people may not
include content in a post. They may simply use the title... in
maintaining a list of links for example. But I suppose there is
a difference between:
entry
titlefoo/title

My understanding was that if fh:incremental was false the feed document
should be considered a complete replacement for any previous document you
may have received. This would be for things like top 10 lists.
I believe the question being asked here is actually about the entries

(or lack thereof) of the atom:content element.
