We've used the extension element feature extensively at O'Reilly.
You'll find that it's trivial to add arbitrary extensions. Naturally
you'll have to wrangle with namespaces... Wearing my RDF hat I'd
suggest you use the Dublin Core
http://purl.org/dc/terms/issued for publication date and
our own
http://purl.oreilly.com/ns/meta/subtitle for subtitle
like this;
<entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/terms/";
xmlns:om="http://purl.oreilly.com/ns/meta/";>
<title>My Big Fat Title</title>
...
<om:subtitle>A story about titles</om:subtitle>
<dc:issued>2004-06-22</dc:issued>
</entry>

Hi! I'm new to Abdera and the mailing list and have just one question.
I need to be able to build an Atom document that has some extra
non-standard elements in it. For example, in addition to <title> and
<subtitle> for a <feed>, I need to add a <summary> element. The name
<summary> was chosen to match the <summary> that's available in an
<entry>, but I need it at the <feed> level in addition to the entries.
Similarly, I need a <subtitle> and a <published> in an <entry>.
Is that usage supported in Abdera? Perhaps in the extension mechanism?
Thanks,
Johnny Tolliver
