Dave's been publishing his thoughts.

He and I have been talking about getting them pulled together in a
revised finding[1] but haven't got a plan in place yet.



Thanks. I've been dipping into Dave's blog - good stuff.


Only thing that bothers me is that unless something happens pretty soon, Atom is going to have another 6 months with only anything-(in a different namespace)-goes extensions. It would be nice to be able to do the kind of stuff you can with RSS 1.0, e.g. throw in event info and extra author data in a consistent fashion, rather than RSS 2.0's thing where every little extension means another proprietary syntax.

Cheers,
Danny.
