Re: Handling unknown elements in an entry

[Ezra Cooper <ezra@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

What about clients' obligations with unknown elements? My expectation would
be that clients preserve them. Say that my server has an entry

  <entry>
    <title>Tintin's Dog Snowy Is White</title>
    <content>Herewith, some notes on Tintin's dog.</content>
    <tintin:snowycolor>white</tintin:snowycolor>
  </entry>

and tintin:snowycolor is unknown to my client. If my client wants to change
the title to "On the Pigment of Tintin's Dog", it will GET the entry, make a
change, and POST it. I would not expect the data in the snowycolor extension
to get lost.

Should I draft a proposal?
