hello.

by allowing RDF/XML in Atom, this basically says goodbye to just usinggeneral-purpose XML tools for processing Atom feeds. I don't want tocomment on the necessity to embed RDF in Atom, but if it is somethingpeople want to do, wouldn't RDFa or a similar XML-friendly syntax be abetter way of doing it? this way, Atom+RDF users could still easilyaccess the RDF data without having to use a full RDF/XML parser.


cheers,

dret.

ps: as a pure coincidence, i just asked for XSLT implementations forRDF/XML parsing onhttp://www.oreillynet.com/xml/blog/2008/06/rdf_parsing_in_xslt.html, andso far nobody pointed to one.
