Re: No new mime types

Now given that this spec is in xml, my question is simply: can't we just re-use application/atom+xml at least to serve those documents? Does one really need a new mime type?

No and Yes. Because we'd be overloading application/atom+xml semantics such as they are - the important part being 'application/atom', not '+xml'. Now, if you can demonstrate a shared common meaning with Atom Format then I guess it can be used. I'm skeptical tho'.
