Re: PaceServiceError comments

A couple of questions:

(1) What should happen if the fetching of the feed is distinctly separated
in time from the validation (and hence error reporting)?

If I update my feed at 1:00pm, somebigfeedproxy fetches it at 1:05pm in a
huge batch job along with hundreds of other feeds elsewhere, I update it
again at 1:10pm, somebigfeedproxy finally gets around to processing the
fetched data at 1:15pm ... should somebigfeedproxy do a quick HEAD to see if
it's changed in the meantime? Do I want to be notified of errors which I've
already corrected?

(2) What if I've subscribed to a feed, and have fetched valid feeds so far,
but now find that the data pulled is not valid (and I got a HTTP 200 OK
status code) ... if I can't find the service.error endpoint in the junk I've
just fetched (including headers), is it permissible to use the service.error
endpoint from the last valid fetch?
