So far Atom is a less featureful version of RSS 2.0. I
was actually thinking about that this weekend while
reading Charles Miller's post at
http://fishbowl.pastiche.org/2004/11/08/finally_a_use_for_atom
and realizing that my internal data models in RSS
Bandit haven't changed one whit because of Atom, just
the parsing code.  

As it stands now given the current cost/benefit of
Atom over RSS 2.0, the current Atom draft + categories
isn't something I'd advise anyone at my employer's to
use if it became an RFC nor is it something I believe
we'd use on the stuff I work on directly
(http://spaces.msn.com for one).

I reserve the right to execute any henchmen who appear to be a little too intelligent, powerful, or devious. However if I do so, I will not at some subsequent point shout "Why am I surrounded by these incompetent fools?!"
