DontSyndicate Pace revised
I revised the DontSyndicate Pace in response to Graham's point that the
attribute isn't just to prevent syndication, it's to prevent the entry
appearing at the top level of the publication as well as the
syndication feed. So the <atom:entry> attribute is now called
top-level="true|false".
I would point out that as far as I can tell:
(a) the existing type="multipart/alternative" does not provide good
support for the common use case of a logically-multipart entry
(b) we currently have no other proposal to prevent anything that gets
sent to the API in an <atom:entry> from showing up in the syndication
feed or front page of the site
This proposal provides support for posting logically-multipart entries
that is more or less, I think, the Simplest Thing That Could Possibly
Work.
People who don't like it ought to propose an alternative
fully-worked-out proposal that explains:
(a) how the different pieces can refer to each other
(b) how certain pieces are prevented from showing up at the top level
or in the syndication feed
Alternatively, a good idea is to suggest changes to the DontSyndicate
proposal, including specific language.
