Re: Atompub Features Draft Dead for Good?

Ok this is good to see. The main question is whether there is sufficient reason to define a generic features/capabilities extension. There certainly are good arguments in favor. If a generic ext was available would cmis use it?

CMIS adds CMIS element to the workspace element in the atompub service document. I am not aware of requirements from CMIS for representing features at the collection level.

FYI - Here's an example of the features/capabilities CMIS advertises in the atompub workspace element:

<ns5:repositoryInfo>
<ns1:repositoryId>repid1</ns1:repositoryId>
<ns1:repositoryName>Repository1</ns1:repositoryName>

Ok, so we'd made quite a bit of progress on the Atom features draft a
while back and then I decided to sit and watch to see if there was a
strong enough need for the extensions. At this point, I have not seen
anyone jumping up and down demanding the functionality provided by the
Features draft so I'm wondering if I should just consider it Dead for
Good. Thoughts?
