Re: Atompub Features Draft Dead for Good?

If it made sense for CMIS to use it, then yes. Especially if it becomes the best practice to advertise an atom extension.

It would be helpful if the feature markup included a way to specify an URI to get the feature-specific info such as the block below. That would help make the service document easier to produce and the client can request the feature-specific block if desired.

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>

<ns1:vendorName>CMIS Vendor 1</ns1:vendorName>

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?
