Re: New Version Notification for draft-mehta-atom-inline-01

Hi Nikunj-

This looks good.  I still have a sense, though, that the same pre-fetch capability could be achieved vi a a different mechanism.  I have found it useful to provide an atom:link@rel=alternate that has a type attribute indicating atom *feed* (i.e., "here is the feed representation of this entry") that returns a feed -- (some what akin to mime multipart?) in which the entry in question is the first entry in the feed, and the pre-fetched entries are the remaining entries in the feed (they are siblings in the feed, but links or categories in each can express the implied hierarchy).   I realize there is a need to say *which* links are pre-fetched, but that could be a function of either a custom @rel (instead of just "alternate") pointing to the feed OR query parameters (another can o' worms) that indicates which links will be prefetched.

This may be unwise for reasons I am not seeing, but I've found it quite useful.  (Not to mention one small side-effect: I can always ask for the "feed" version of an entry when I need to view it in Firefox, which typically will not display a plain atom:entry).

Revised version simplifies the content model of ae:inline to Atom entry and feed documents.

   01 - Limited scope of in-lining to Atom.
      Removed type attribute from ae:inline as well as support for non-Atom in-lining.
      Specified the interpretation of type attribute and the value of ae:inline
      Added example for empty inline element

I hope this addresses the concern that we were creating a mighty complex content model for ae:inline without use cases to guide us in the process. At this point, I welcome any feedback of implementation experience you wish to share.

Thanks to all of you who provided feedback on the initial revision of the I-D.
