Re: Atom feed refresh rates

[jpanzer@xxxxxxx (John Panzer)]

I assume an HTTP Expires header for Atom content will work and play well 
with caches such as the Google Accelerator 
(http://webaccelerator.google.com/).  I'd also guess that a syntax-level 
tag won't.  Is this important? 

The HTML solution for people who could not implement Expires: seems to 
be META tags with in theory equivalent information.  Though in practice 
the whole thing is a mess, this seems like a conceptually simple 
workaround.  Is there something obviously wrong with it?
