Here are some kinds of resources that I'd be interested in modeling in Atom:

* Non-entry resources (images, etc.)

PaceSimpleResoucePosting takes care of this, right? I guess the only remaining question is how a client locates them, or what resource has these non-entry resources as a many: property.

  * Templates
      - template body
      - name
      - target filename


Could this be rephrased as
- content
- MIME type
- title
- URI

  * Authors (Principals)
  * Categories


What properties does a category need?
- name
- URI

http://www.novell.com/documentation/director4/docs/help/books/cmgWebDAVClient.html#1003177

Has an example of applying "category references" to resources. I'm not saying we have to use WebDAV to do this. There's a clearly a tension between Atom and WebDAV metadata containment models. [0,1,2]

* Weblog-level configuration

Can we agree on at least a few weblog-level configuration fields that would be useful to be treated by the protocol? Such as title, description, HTML URL, maybe timezone...

What constitutes Weblog-level? Is there a vague agreement here?
