The question is vague and open to many interpretations, but I'd go for

Yes indeed that is the difference as I read it here [3].

Here you raise a good question. But the way you ask it makes me think 
that
behind this question lurks a deep skepticism on our ability to think
historically at all.

The answer is simple: there is no one unique test. But this does not 
entail
that the distinction is not a perfectly good one that we can use. Think 
about
our historical knowledge.
	How do you know that you are the person with a certain social security
number? You may pull out your social security card, but a skeptic could 
go on to
argue that this card may be forged. Or they could argue that the card 
is real
but that you have taken on the appearance of the person to whom it 
really
belonged. You may then point to all the people around you who have 
known you
for a long time, your school teacher, your family, your friends, etc. 
And this
usually helps a lot, indeed is usually considered to be the basis of 
knowledge
of your identity. You don't get absolute philosophical certainty, but 
you do
get knowledge, even though at each point a case could be constructed in 
which
one was wrong to go by that evidence to reach that conclusion. But this 
is
a well known problem in epistemology, and I would recommend reading the 
late
Robert Nozick's book "Philosophical Explanations" [4] to help 
understand how
to navigate that particular minefield.

So here are some ways you would go about finding out if two entries 
with the
same id (the functional id I keep speaking about, the one that acts the
way a social security number works to identify you):

   - You could simply ask the author if these are the same entry. Did he 
go
  to the earlier representation of the entry by a series of 
transformation steps to
  the later representation? The types of steps one would think of are: 
fixing
  spelling mistakes or grammatical errors, correcting a bad expression 
of the
  thought, ...
   - The author is not the only one to determine the identity of the 
entry.
   Once people start reading and commenting on an entry, they in part 
act to
   constrain what the identity relation of an entry is. An author who 
would
   use completely unpredictable identity relations would confuse his 
readers,
   would reduce the point of replying to his posts or reading them. Ie. 
He would
   make it difficult to distinguish his posts from junk.

I suspect that if this had been a problem in web architecture, it would 
have been
noticed long ago. The above seems to be saying that the web can only 
speak about the
present. But it clearly can speak about the past as well. Just check 
out the XML-HR
standard. When I write a resume using that format, I am writing a 
document which describes another resource's (me) history. If one 
suspect that there is something
so fundamentally wrong with web architecture, then this is not the 
forum to discuss
that. One should go to the web arch forums. Here we should assume that 
there is no
such problem. Specialization of tasks demands that.

We seem to be agreeing on which the correct position to take is. But I 
really don't
believe we are doing something that may have implications for web 
architecture.

In any case I have seen no proof that having a feed document with 
multiple entries
with the same id may have any problematic consequences. On the other 
hand it would
be overwhelmingly helpful.

My apologies: I didn't see the second part of that email. I thought the
extent of Bill's email was the bit addressed to the chairs/editors.

In summary response, I agree with Bill -- entries are resources, <entry>s
are representations. There is a notional construct thing we call an 'entry',
and there is an XML representation of that thing.

The spec shouldn't disallow multiple instances of <entry>s with the same
<id>, however as a compromise I suggest the spec might use the SHOULD
qualifier ... that is, <feed> instances SHOULD NOT have multiple <entry>s
with the same <id>.

What this means is that if you have a good reason to do so, and you realize
that there are a lot of dumb aggregators out there that will choke, and
that's ok by you, then go ahead.

Now the Tag URI scheme's [1] been approved by the IESG, maybe that's
worth considering again.

If I get chance I'll see what Yahoo's Media RSS looks like as Atom
(it's currently written for RSS 2.0). I had a play the other day and
it translated into RDF/XML with RSS 1.0 pretty nicely [2], I think it
could also lend itself to being a fairly format-agnostic vocabulary in
a similar manner to FotoNotes.

Danny.

Try asking again in a year or so's time, when we have an audio
extension defined by Microsoft for Microsoft applications, a threading
extension defined by Google for Google applications and a video
extension defined by Yahoo for Yahoo applications. Case-by-case will
favour those with the weight to ensure enough deployment to bootstrap
general adoption. The long term network-effect driven gains of interop
are outweighed by the short-term competitive advantage of features.
Proprietary Atom solutions here we come!

Now we're aware of the issue, what are the options for the format?

I suggest we set up a panel to assess new extensions. They will solicit 
bids from all the major vendors for threading, video, audio etc and the 
best in each category will be chosen. If a vendor chooses to use there 
own extension over the one we choose for them, they will have just 48 
hours until bombing commences.

In the long run we're all dead, is as good a riposte as any to that sirrah.

But, if people think extensions are an issue, then maybe there's spec

Damn good thinking.  But bombing may be sub-optimal; how about 
retaining the services of a ring of ruthless hired killers instead?

As with anything, there will be a big mess, and then the good stuff will

Yep. Even considering the economies outsourcing can offer, long term I
bet employment of mercenaries works out cheaper than the programmers
needed to support Nx(N-1) extensions...

Hi,

apparently, the new draft (06) wasn't finished in time for submission 
before the meeting cutoff.

As this draft is the one that's supposed to be submitted for publication 
(at least that's my understanding), wouldn't it make a lot of sense to 
make the current edits available for review (*before* it is committed 
after the end of the IETF meeting)?

Best regards, Julian

Your assumption is completely wrong. The WG will review the next 
draft before passing on to the IETF. The timing of the IETF meeting 
is completely inconsequential.

Hi there,

First, let's introduce myself: I'm a 24 year-old French programmer 
living in Dijon, France. Some day, I'd have liked to create my blog but 
got stuck by all these RSS thingies and API stuff... I'm back now to 
syndication as a user and programmer, and found Atom as the new unified 
standard for syndication and web service API.

Reading the Atom spec (draft -05), one thing shocked me: what is this 
type=HTML for?

Why would I need to use HTML in my feed? Well, to add some structure to 
my entry content, such as headers, divisions, lists, tables, text 
emphasis, etc. Sometime, I'll also need to add formatting and visual 
effects, but this shouldn't happen often: the goal of a feed is to be 
read outside my website, either in a Gtk/Win32/etc. app or integrated in 
another website. Thus formatting and visual effects should be reduced to 
the strict minimum for my feed to comply to the feed reader appearance.

How would I insert HTML inside my feed? Err, an Atom feed (as well as an 
RSS feed) is an XML document, HTML has been rewritten in an XML syntax 
with XHTML, so I'll obviously use XHTML!

So why is Atom using that escaped-HTML thing? Where does it come from? 
It comes from RSS0.92 and RSS2.0, which have relaxed there syntax to 
reflect a "common use" by bloggers. This use comes from the fact feeds 
were first mainly integrated in websites, someone might have wonder how 
to add formatting and/or structure and found that trick that worked for 
the feed readers existing at that time.
Why does Atom use it? I think (correct me if I'm wrong) mainly to be 
adopted more easily by the existing CMS.

Why I think this is a bad practice?
1. If I want to program an Atom reader/aggregator, I'll need to deal 
with the HTML tag soup, which may not be wellformed (and wellformedness 
in SGML is something so light...) nor valid, which mean I'll also need 
to re-implement the error handling algorithms already used in existing 
browsers. This should already have discouraged me to start programming, 
but I'm really motivated and will try to find a solution... (using Tidy 
to "correct" the HTML and transform it into XHTML that I can parse ; not 
that this means using another parser than the one I use to process the 
Atom feed/entry). Depending on the language/environment I have chosen, 
this might not even be possible: how do you use such thing in an XSLT 
transformation or other XForms app?
If the Atom WG wants an interoperable format adopted by everyone, I'm 
not sure this is the good way...
2. If I want to integrate the HTML content in a website, my page 
structure and formatting could be totally broken if the HTML content of 
the feed is not wellformed or valid HTML: an unclosed element or too 
many closing tags, an un-wellformed tag that could "hide" my following 
tags, particularly if I don't use wellformed or valid HTML: tag soup 
inside tag soup can't always have a good taste... To prevent that sort 
of thing, the Atom spec would have to state that the escaped HTML 
content MUST be wellformed and valid HTML (wellformedness in SGML in not 
as strong as in XML and still might lead to weird stuff). However, even 
if the spec add such a rule, you can be sure most of the feeds won't 
follow it, simply because "it looks OK in the major readers/aggregators" 
(hey, remember the browser war which finally leave NS4 away?). It's much 
much easy to add welformedness constraints on XHTML which integrates 
well in XML, as this means the whole feed wouldn't be wellformed and 
couldn't be processed at all, than on "external content" like escaped 
HTML, even if they are encapsulated in the XML document. With schemas, 
it's even possible to add a validity constraint!

What disturbs me in the spec is that the content of a Text Construct is 
considered "external data" (call it foreign data or foreign object if 
you want).
In my opinion, the content of a Text Construct should be XML. The spec 
should add more constraints apart from *suggesting* not including 
metadata in the content and/or using XHTML to add structure and/or 
formatting, rather than DocBook, XSL-FO, SVG or else.
If there is a need to allow inlining of external content, such as 
images, there should be a special element to use as a container inside 
the Text Construct, similar to the foreignObject of SVG or the 
instream-foreign-object of XSL-FO.
This also means the @type and @mode attributes are discarded from the 
Text Construct element and added to the "Foreign Object Element" (let's 
rename them @type and @encoding, with @type being MIME media types (no 
more TEXT, HTML or XHTML special value).

Someone the list suggested stripping the tags from the escaped-HTML 
content if the reader doesn't support HTML processing ; I would suggest 
using HTML Tidy to turn it into XHTML (if the read supports XHTML). 
Can't this be done by the feed generator instead?
It's easy for blogging tools to produce XHTML from their WYSIWYG 
"richtext areas" to comply with an "XML-only Atom web service API"; it 
shouldn't be too hard for CMS tools to produce XHTML or plain text from 
legacy HTML content (either integrating HTML Tidy or a similar tool or 
stripping the HTML tags); it shouldn't be too hard either for CMS tools 
to integrate "migration tools" to transform legacy HTML content to XHTML 
(if the user wants too, otherwise the tool would produce plain text 
content in Atom feeds, for example); and it WILL be easy to program Atom 
readers/aggregators, because they won't have to deal with the HTML tag soup.

The Atom format aims to be:
  - an XML application, so it should, in my opinion, use XHTML to add 
structure or formatting to the content, instead of HTML
  - "implemented by everybody" [1], so it should be easy to parse (hence 
being XML only, and therefore preventing the need for a second 
processing) and produce (when using the Atom API for editing, input will 
be the same as output; when dealing with legacy HTML content or using an 
input tool not producing XHTML, migration algorithm or tools can be used)
  - computer-friendly [2]: HTML is not computer-friendly, or at least 
far less than XHTML...

If someone wants me to provide a clear "spec" for what I've told above, 
so that we can discuss it (rather than trolling), I'll create a Pace* on 
the wiki.

I agree with what you say, but I fear this topic has been discussed and 
dicussed again in the past with no result. For some reason, people seem 
to prefer a format where "bad" data (tag soup) is allowed, and the task 
to fix it is put onto the recipients rather than the creators. For me 
it's very obvious that this is the wrong approach -- if you can require 
the recipients to do that, you can also require the same responsibility 
from the producers.

Anyway, I recently made a much more modest request that the spec should 
state that XHTML is preferred over HTML (because many recipients will 
not be willing to process tag soup, so in the best case formatting is 
lost). It seems that we can't even get a consensus for that, which is 
really disappointing considering the expectations I had 18 months ago :-(

Best regards, Julian

I totally agree that publishers are all willing to convert their 
content to well-formed XHTML for us. They're very generous people. Do 
you not remember last week when we all got sent free lollipops?

That's not the only solution I (and probably others before me) proposed.
Let's see below with some examples:

First, content can be "converted" to plain text without formatting (in 
the case the HTML markup serves only formatting needs, not structural ones):
<atom:entry>
<atom:id>tag:example.com,2005-03-06:PlainTextWithAlternateHTML</atom:id>
<atom:updated>2005-03-06T21:38Z</atom:updated>
<atom:title>Plain text in Atom linking to an HTML version</atom:title>
<atom:link rel="alternate" type="text/html"
       href="http://example.com/2005/03/06#PlainTextWithAlternateHTML" />
<atom:content>
The generator (not the person who publishes but the program which 
creates the feed) converts the entry content to plain text and links to 
the original HTML version.
</atom:content>
</atom:entry>

>> In my opinion, the content of a Text Construct should be XML. The spec

Sorry I would have written "the spec shouldN'T add more constraints 
apart from..."

>> If there is a need to allow inlining of external content, such as 
>> images, there should be a special element to use as a container inside 
>> the Text Construct, similar to the foreignObject of SVG or the 
>> instream-foreign-object of XSL-FO.

>> (let's rename them @type and @encoding, with @type being MIME media

HTML can also be included as a "foreign object":
<atom:entry>
<atom:id>tag:example.com,2005-03-06:HTMLAsForeignObject</atom:id>
<atom:updated>2005-03-06T21:38Z</atom:updated>
<atom:title>HTML used as a foreign object</atom:title>
<atom:content>
<atom:foreignObject type="text/html">
&lt;p>The generator (not the person who publishes but the program which 
creates the feed) converts the entry content to plain text in an 
&lt;code>atom:fallback&lt;/code> element and inserts the original 
&lt;acronym title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML&lt;acronym> version 
in an &lt;code>atom:foreignObject&lt;/code> element.&lt;/p>
&lt;p>If no &lt;code>atom:fallback&lt;/code> is given, the entry 
&lt;em>must&lt;em> provide a &lt;code>link rel="alternate"&lt;/code>.
</atom:foreignObject>
<atom:fallback>
The generator (not the person who publishes but the program which 
creates the feed) converts the entry content to plain text in an 
atom:fallback element and inserts the original HTML version in an 
atom:foreignObject element.
If no atom:fallback is given, the entry MUST provide a link rel="alternate".
</atom:fallback>
</atom:content>
</atom:entry>

Using a foreignObject for HTML, the spec would not require (or strongly 
suggests (think about the SHOULD word in the spec)) readers/aggregators 
to support HTML.

As you can see, dealing with legacy HTML when producing an Atom feed is 
not an issue. Dealing with HTML when consuming a feed IS.

By allowing HTML inside a feed, you orient readers/aggregators 
developers to use an "HTML area" (integrated web browser) to render the 
entry content where they could use another "rich text area" (a "native 
Win32" rich text area, an SVG-based canvas, a "direct drawing" canvas) 
or convert the XHTML content into plain text (stripping "tags" is part 
of XML parsing: just parse the subtree without paying attention to 
elements, just keeping their text content; you could even skip SCRIPT 
and STYLE element content) or a "widget based" rendering.
Embedding a web browser widget is not always possible: how will you 
render HTML text in the title of a window (if, for example, a reader 
gives you the ability to open an entry in a new window, same as what you 
can do when reading Usenet news groups), or in a "bubble tooltip" like 
those seen on Windows 20 or WindowsXP?

CMS tools will need an update to add an Atom output, this update may 
integrate some processing to transform HTML into plain text or XHTML; or 
it can just produce an atom:foreignObject and an atom:link 
rel="alternate", with no effort at all!

>> and it WILL be easy to program Atom readers/aggregators, because they

...although I'm sure most readers/aggregators will use an embedded web 
browser to render then entry.
BUT, this will not be enforced by the spec, and that's the point!

It seems people here want to reinvent RSS with its tricks and drawbacks 
in the name of backwards compatibility instead of trying to produce a 
well-designed thing which also meets the backwards compatibility issue 
but in a clean approach!

I agree also, but for some implementors, HTML is actually easier, if 
they are handing a chunk of bytes to an HTML rendering control, they'd 
rather not reconstruct the syntax from the infoset, they'd rather just 
take an opaque chunk of bytes.  So we really don't have community 
consensus in favor of XHTML, even though it's obviously cleaner. -Tim

Agree w/ Tim. Also, HTML4 enjoys far better rendering support than XHTML 
does.

That's true (in IE), but that's just a serialization problem. Nobody 
said that recipients should emit that XHTML directly to HTML controls.

I really hope they don't take an opaque chunk of bytes, because if
they do, they'll have no clue about the character encoding.

I made an even more modest request, namely to put XHTML ahead of HTML

I think Martin was talking about the producer: if all he has is a chunk 
of *bytes*, there's no reliable way top put that into an HTML-typed text 
construct (you'll need characters, not bytes).

Not true; if you can parse the XML to find the <atom:content> then you 
know the character encoding and can tell your HTML renderer. -Tim

It works both ways. If all you get is a chunk of bytes, things won't
work. Of course the Atom processor knows more, but Tim didn't say
that it would pass that info on to the renderer.

I'm afraid it is a "business" problem more than a technical one...

Say you require publishing software to transform the content (either 
transform HTML to XHTML or strip tags, which not always acceptable (you 
should replace an IMG element by it's ALT attribute's value, tables and 
lists may produce non-understandable text when cells/items are 
concatenated, etc.)), they most likely won't do it. Either they'll 
produce not-wellformed Atom feeds, or they "just" won't implement Atom 
and keep their RSS feeds.
In the same time, readers/aggregators will most likely read Atom feeds 
(as it will be easier, particularly if they don't use an embedded web 
browser component) in _addition_ to RSS feeds (for which they already 
deal with multiple versions and extension modules).
There most likely won't exist Atom-only readers/aggregators, so if 
publishing software already produce RSS (in any widely supported 
flavor), they won't produce Atom.

That's why Atom feeds must be easy to produce, and particularly from 
legacy HTML4 content.

Data may also be lost, for example if IMG are not replaced by their ALT 
attribute's value.
Content may become hard to read, for example if the content contains a 
table or a list. For lists, it could be leveraged putting commas at the 
end of each item: <ul><li>first item,</li><li>second item</li></ul>.
And extra non-content text may appear, for example if the ALT attribute 
of an IMG is not used as expected or if the content contains SCRIPT or 
STYLE elements. Moreover, HTML4 has defined a NOSCRIPT element (there is 
no NOSTYLE element, because STYLE must appear in the HEAD in a valid 
HTML4 document).

However, Atom is not only a feed syntax, it's also a publishing/editing 
protocol. This means publishing software implementing the Atom protocol 
will have to deal with this escaped-HTML too.
And even if most publishing software treats HTML "just" as some "opaque 
text" that's eaten and regurgitated "as is", some weblogs aim to produce 
XHTML (b2evolution or WordPress), thus they will need to deal with 
escaped-HTML and transform it to XHTML.
That's why a consensus is hard to find...

I'll try to find an even-better solution than the one I proposed in my 
answer to Graham and post it here tomorrow (it's nearly midnight in 
France). Some solution that does not seem to bring back the 
multipart/alternative type...

In a word, I'm deeply convinced that an all-XML syntax (i.e. including 
XHTML) is THE good way, but I must admit we must provide solutions to 
integrate escaped-HTML if we want Atom to be widely adopted (even RSS 
1.0, and now RSS 1.1, have been extended to allow escaped-HTML...)

I forgot to talk about publishing software that aim to produce not even
HTML/RSS/Atom but also a PDF or RTF version or something else... They'll
also need to parse escaped-HTML while it would have been so easier to just
use XHTML (as easy as applying an XSLT stylesheet and rendering through
Apache FOP for example).

There are many other cases where escaped-HTML will be hard to deal with,
at least harder than processing an XHTML document fragment, just because
the receiving software don't treat Text Constructs and atom:content
content as markup but only as "opaque text".
And this is NOT interoperable!

One thing we could do is requiring Atom to contain plain text or XHTML
only when using the Atom protocol, whatever the receiving software do with
it, whether it just takes the "innerXml" (Microsoft's way) of the Text
Constructs and atom:content elements and treat it as "opaque text", or
parse the XHTML to transform or validate it in any way.
Escaped-HTML would be preserved in the Atom syntax only for "backwards"
compatibility with RSS, thus only when "publishing" a feed.
Or we could state type=HTML is not required to be supported by a user
agent for it to be Atom-conformant. We would then need a way for user
agents to tell "servers" (would it be an Atom composing/publishing
software or a server publising a feed) whether or not they support
type=HTML, and that would add a bit complexity. Or we would have to state
that whenever escaped-HTML is provided, an alternate XHTML or plain text
version is required (except for atom:content, which can be replaced by the
atom:link when rendering an entry).
Or we could just nuke the type=HTML and do it the RSS0.90-way, allowing
escaped-HTML in a type=TEXT, but not requiring to be supported by the user
agent (not even stripping tags).
Or...

That's marvellous, thanks Eric. First impressions are good - lots of verbs!

Given that the spec is still in development (as the Atom Publishing
Protocol), I was wondering if the service was written against any
specific draft of the spec, and/or whether there had been some
improvisation on the theme.

Cheers,
Danny.

One thing that bugs me: Since when does Atom use XML 1.1?

OK, here are some preliminary comments based on what's available from 
<http://www.atompub.org/2005/03/12/draft-ietf-atompub-format-06.html>:

- the RNC grammar is still unusable in that TRANG rejects the Schematron 
extensions; what do I need in addition to TRANG/JING to actually use 
that file?

- after removing the Schematron extensions: the RNC still is broken 
(missing double quotes after '"text')

- (after fixing that as well): atomPlainTextConstruct and 
atomXHTMLTextConstruct still use uppercased type names (in the collected 
RNC)

- the current RNC doesn't check for xhtml:div content below XHTML text 
constructs.


I've updated my experimental atom-06 feed at 
<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/webdav.atom>. Feedback appreciated...



Best regards, Julian

Norm has mentioned simplifying the schema in the past. I'll defer to him 
here.

These mistakes are mine. I promise to check the schema after every edit 
next time.

No I-D announce email yet, for some reason. hmmm.

The editors' read of consensus differed from the chairs' on PaceHeadless 
and PaceExtensionConstruct. The chairs agree that both reads are 
reasonable, and are ok with this divergence.

What's the problem exactly? The spec looks quite nice to me on the 
whole.

((Perfection would come with an OWL semantics as shown by RSS1.1, but 
otherwise it looks
ok.))

4.1.1 "The "atom:feed" element is the document (i.e., top-level) 
element of an Atom Feed Document, acting as a container for metadata 
and data associated with the feed. Its element children consist of one 
or more metadata elements followed by zero or more atom:entry child 
elements."

A little nit-picky, but it looks like a minimum of three metadata 
elements are required: link, title and updated.


4.2.8 The "atom:image" Element

There was some support for the idea of changing the name of atom:image 
to atom:logo.  Is there any opposition to that?

Graham,

I have no desire to contradict the decisions of this WG. I acknowledge 
that there were negative opinions expressed about PaceHeadless. However, 
none of the negative opinions other than your own contained technical 
criticism. Even yours was pretty vague [0,1,2]. Comments in favor were 
generally thoughtful and based on implementation experience.

All of the objections concerned the atom:head text rather than 
extensibility. Rejecting the extensibility text because of editorial 
comments about atom:head is not appropriate. The extensions text in 
atom:head is nearly identical to PaceExtensionConstruct, which Tim 
didn't like because of RDF language, but everyone else approved. The 
current text has no RDF language.

Arguing process is not productive here. Finding out the WG's real view 
is. The editors will gladly revert, change, delete, add etc etc. The 
group needs to tell us what to do.

Robert Sayre

This is on behalf of Paul and myself as co-chairs.

Greetings again. The end is in sight. As Robert posted earlier, the -06 
draft is now out, but not yet posted to this list by the IETF. However 
we expect that to happen today (it's already in the Internet Draft 
archive).

As he also pointed out, there was some divergence between the editor's 
interpretation of the last round of debate the chairs' view of what was 
WG consensus. This happens in any standards body; at least in the IETF, 
it also gets fixed.

[Tim's take: I really do think that Rob and Mark mis-read the WG.  
Having said that, and having done a careful read on the draft, I don't 
think the difference is of any real significance.  If I'd built 
software to process -05, adapting it for -06 would be like ten minutes' 
work; and I can't imagine any features that could be built for one 
rather than for the other.  On the other hand, if a substantial number 
of WG members say "No, put it back" (as Graham already has) and almost 
nobody says "Yes, ship it", then we'll put it back.]

So, after you have read the text in the current draft, we want to hear 
from the WG as to whether or not the draft has rough consensus support 
and, if not, how to fix it. One week should be sufficient to determine 
this.

Simultaneously with this, we want to hear any editorial changes for in 
the draft. That should also come within a week.  When suggesting 
editorial changes, it's helpful to say so, maybe even in the Subject 
line.

Please note that we are not asking for any design changes at this 
point. If there is something that is technically broken, bring it up; 
if there is something that works but you would prefer something 
different, don't bring it up. If you're not sure which side your 
thought falls on, send a note to Paul and I and we'll help.

The plan is that, in about a week, Robert and Mark will rev the 
document with any changes from the above and turn in -07. At that 
point, we'll ask Scott Hollenbeck to consider this for IETF-wide last 
call. He will then read the -07 draft. If it seems OK to him, he'll do 
the paperwork with the IETF; if not, he'll come back to us with his 
comments.

Forward motion happens!

Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-atompub-format-06.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.

I think that there is a risk of interoperability problems if we don't state which attributes are allowed on the xhtml:div wrapper.


As the xhtml:div wrapper is not part of the content: is it allowed to contain XHTML attributes such as class and style?

I assume that if these attributes are allowed, then they should be ignored by renderers, and the attributed xhtml:div should be treated as an un-attributed one.

However, as xml:lang definitions made outside the content construct apply to the XHTML, I would assume that xml:lang attributes made on the xhtml:div itself, should apply to the XHTML.


If I've got this right, then I think that these implied rules are rather surprising.


Should we:

  a) keep the current text.

  b) disallow attributes on the xhtml:div wrapper.

  c) disallow XHTML attributes on the xhtml:div wrapper, but
     allow xml:lang.


I vote for b).

Allowing xml:lang on xhtml:div is unnecessary because it can be placed on the content construct itself with the same effect.  Allowing attributes on a wrapper element which most people would otherwise just throw away adds unnecessary complexity and surprise.

> Any element in an Atom Document MAY have an xml:base attribute.

> Any element in an Atom Document MAY have an xml:lang attribute

Not all XHTML elements can legally carry an xml:lang attribute; and no
XHTML elements can legally carry an xml:base attribute.

Is this obvious or do we need to make it clear that the statements
above do not override the rules of XHTML?

Or maybe what we're really saying is that any *Atom* element may have

+1 

That's how I initially read it, but I see how the current
wording could be read to allow xml:base/xml:lang on any element
regardless of the namespace the element sits in.

Mildly put, I was never a big fan of the xhtml:div wrapper.

But if xml:lang is disallowed on the xhtml:div wrapper, this
makes even less sense to me. If Atom processors can handle
(i.e. correctly inherit) xml:lang from atom: elements into
the xhtml: elements as they are required to, I don't see
why they wouldn't be able to handle xml:lang on xhtml:div.

Regards,    Martin.

Yes, namespace attributes should be allowed everywhere. XML parsers
handle namespace attributes automatically so there shouldn't be any
problems with that.

This issue interacts with the issue in my other thread "xml:base and
xml:lang".

If we change the spec to say something like:

> Any atom-namespaced element in the Atom Document MAY have an
> xml:base attribute.
>
> Any atom-namespaced element in an Atom Document MAY have an xml:lang
> attribute

Then the implication is that we are saying nothing about what
attributes are allowed on XHTML-namespaced elements, and that is left
for XHTML to define.

But, I think that we should disallow xhtml attributes on the
xhtml:div, otherwise implementors that copy the xhtml:div directly
through to the renderer will be incorrect.

So we either say:

1)

  atom:* elements MAY have xml:base and xml:lang attributes.

  The xhtml:div wrapper MUST NOT contain any attribute other than
  namespace attributes.

or:

2)

  atom:* elements MAY have xml:base and xml:lang attributes.

  The xhtml:div wrapper MUST NOT contain any attribute other than
  namespace attributes and xml:lang.

What about:
<atom:content type="xhtml">
  <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <p style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height:
100%">
      Hey, hey! I can show ads that can take the whole viewport, hiding
everything else in the containing page! (if the feed content is
shown inside another HTML page)
    </p>
  </div>
</atom:content>

Moreover, you can still add constraints on the XHTML content but you'll
never be able to constraint HTML content...

Maybe that's why NITF (or its subset XMLNews-story) defines its own
formatting markup... though NITF also adds semantic markup (location,
person, etc.)

Anyway, the -06 spec says XHTML is used in its "basic" flavor (and that's
good! <applause/>), not allowing inline styles (but still the class
attribute) nor the script element.
Though you can still not put such constraints on type="html" content, and
this moves the interop' matter elsewhere: publishers are then required to
check and filter their XHTML content (or they'll just put it in
type="html" to bypass the validation process... worse than everything
else...) before including it in an Atom feed...

Oh, and as we're talking about it: the -06 spec states "If the value of
"type" is "xhtml", the content of the Text construct MUST be a single
XHTML div element" but the RNG schema says it can contain mixed content
with "anyElement".

However, I still can't understand the _need_ for this xhtml:div wrapper...
if someone likes to have a prefix-free feed, he can use a wrapper div, as
divs can contain divs!
So please revert to "mixed content without wrapper"! (I know it's too
late...)

I think anyone who was not a fan of xhtml:div should argue against 
allowing xml:lang or any other attributes on it. In a few years it'll be 
obvious that xhtml:div was a needless band-aid - adding extra 
characteristics to it now serves only to make it harder to zero it out 
later.

First, just curious--did we discuss which flavor of XHTML was to be 
allowed?  I'm not familiar enough with the differences to comment on 
what I'd prefer.

Second, looking at http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xhtml-basic-20001219/, 
I see that the style ELEMENT is not supported, but it doesn't say that 
the style ATTRIBUTE is not supported.  By "inline styles", are you 
referring to only what's done in the style element, and not what's done 
in the style attribute?

That's right, you have to go through the (not much readable, due to
XHTMLMOD) DTD, which doesn't include the "Style Attribute Module".

I was referring to the style attribute.

In that case, if we're going to spec the use of basic xhtml, I think 
we'd better make an explicit note of this point, because the 
probability is high that many people will miss it entirely--perhaps 
something along the lines of "Note that basic XHTML is a subset of 
XHTML and does not support certain elements and attributes such as the 
style attribute."

+1 as well. 90% of developers are going to drop xml:lang on the floor 
anyway. The other 10% will get it right if it's on the div wrapper.

The underlying issue here (afaik) is that we've been told that the 
mandatory is /not/ part of the content, thus I wouldn't expect 
recipients to store it in any way. So what happens if attributes carry 
inheritable information?

If we're going to be using a flavor of XHTML that doesn't support 
@style, then this example is invalid, but perhaps the concept can be 
transferred to some other attribute.  This example assumes that the 
XHTML namespace is already bound to the prefix "x":

<content type="XHTML"><x:div style="color:#f00;">Am I red 
text?</x:div></content>

Should the text be rendered in red or not?  The div and its style 
attribute are not part of the content, so do they have the ability to 
style the content?  When I hand the content off to my XHTML rendering 
widget, how would I tell it about the red style if I've removed the 
wrapper div?  I haven't worked with such widgets, so for all I know, 
there may be an obvious answer to that--at least for some widgets.  But 
still, applications are going to have to know more about XHTML than 
they'd have to know if they could simply discard the wrapper and pass 
its contents on to their XHTML widget.

 From a purely aesthetic point of view,  we now have one element name 
with a hyphen while the rest are one word. Yuck.

Secondly, whereas before we had two types of head with identical 
syntax, we now have feed and source-feed with different syntax. Double 
yuck.

Thirdly, a lot of the metadata in <head> (or <feed>) does not describe 
the <feed> element, they describe various different subjects:
- This feed document
- The feed in general
- Entry defaults

The <head> element indicated that, like headers in other contexts, this 
is extra data that doesn't have much meaning in itself but may be 
useful in processing the entries. Defining them as metadata belonging 
to <feed> was tottally misguided.

The WGs view appears to be very clearly "no consensus", which has lead 
to automatic closure of  every other pace recently.

The question is: should the text should be rendered using any 
publisher-provided style or using the Atom processor's style, or the 
including web page's style (if I'm publishing someone else's feed on my 
own website) ?
Is Atom a _news_ syndication format ? And maybe something like 
NITF/XMLNews-story would be a better choice.
Or is Atom a _web_ syndication format ? And XHTML is a good choice.
Or is Atom a _publication_ format ? And DocBook/XML would be a good choice.

...hmm, or maybe we shouldn't have introduced the wrapper and we could 
simply rollback...

The previous text wasn't any better, and had an undefined extension 
point (sibling of entry and head). But this is just aesthetics. RSS2 
does it this way, and it works fine.

I don't think this is a valuable distinction, but maybe other folks will.

I don't understand this statement. How is tagline or updated not feed 
metadata? Defining "entry defaults" was totally misquided in my opinion, 
but I lost that argument.

This is a process argument. The chairs can deal with that.

If you check the latest format draft  
(http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-atompub-format-06.txt),  
there are a bunch of open issues marked by the editor with "[[anchor"

We're going to need to sort out some of these before taking this  
forward.  Paul did a run-through, sent it to me, and I've fiddled a  
bit, here are the results.  There are 3 sections:

A. Things that don't require WG discussion but may require editorial  
action
B. Things that don't require any short-term action
C. Things that potentially require WG action

If you have feedback, *PLEASE* don't just reply to this message, the  
subject line isn't helpful.  In particular, if you want to change some  
specific thing about the spec, we must have a separate thread.

======================================================================== 
===

A. Things that don't require WG discussion but may require editorial  
action:

    [[anchor4: Ask yourself: is the example atom:entry valid?]]

No, it's not, because there's no <summary> or <content>; so fix it.

    [[anchor31: J.  Reschke: I'm not sure I understand what
    this is for.  It seems to discourage putting XML data out-of-band.
    Why? ...  Explaining the issue instead of just trying to enforce it
    may lead to better results...]]

Agree that an explanation would be helpful, and it would be nice to  
have it before last call.

======================================================================== 
===

B. Things that don't require any short-term action

    [[anchor7: discussion of white space]]

There were a couple of failed white-space Paces, just take this out.

    [[anchor11: Some feel
    type attributes with different allowable values in different elements
    is confusing.]].

Yep, and they may be right.  Haven't seen any Paces.  It's not fatal,  
take this out.

    [[anchor12: example atom entry w/ escaped markup]]

That should be given in the -07 draft, but can wait until after IETF
last call if it is contentious or a whole lot of work.

    [[anchor21: Substantially changed from format-05, review carefully.]]

Agree. :-)

    [[anchor22: inheritance]]

This is a duplicate of anchor24, so lose it.

    [[anchor45: Substantially changed from format-05, review carefully]]

Agree. :-)

    The "atom:id" element conveys a permanent, universally unique

    [[anchor67: Changed to
    MAY from SHOULD.  Republishers might want to copy it.  --R.  Sayre]]

Hard to argue.

    [[anchor71: update upon publication]]
    [[anchor72: update upon publication]]
    [[anchor73: update upon publication]]

Leave these in to give IANA a hint.

    [[anchor85: This section should be removed before final
    publication.]]

Leave this in to give the RFC Editor a hint.

======================================================================== 
===

C. Things that potentially require WG action:

    [[anchor24: What if
       there's a source-feed element? This is busted.  We should make
       author required for atom:feed and optional for atom:entry.  No
       inheritance co-constraints required.  --R.  Sayre]]

Right, this seems broken on the surface.  Let's get some proposed  
wordings.  On the other hand if we decide to override the editors and  
put <atom:head> back, this goes away (right?)

    [[anchor25: "atom:entry elements MUST NOT
       contain more than one atom:link element with a rel attribute value
       of "alternate" that has the same type attribute value." This
       requirement predates @hreflang.  Keep it? --R.  Sayre]]

Keeping it would be plausible.  So would changing the language to say  
"with the same type and hreflang attribute values."  The default action  
is to leave things as they are, so if you want a change, post  
separately with a wording.

    o  atom:entry elements MUST contain an atom:summary element in any of
       the following cases: [[anchor26: Do these requirements reflect the
       WG's decisions? --R.  Sayre]]
       *  the atom:entry element contains no atom:content element.
          [[anchor27: Net result: Atom entries MUST have an atom:summary
          or an atom:content element.]]
       *  the atom:entry contains an atom:content that has a "src"
          attribute (and is thus empty).
       *  the atom:entry contains content that is encoded in Base64; i.e.
          the "type" attribute of atom:content is a MIME media type
          [RFC2045] and does not begin with "text/" nor end with "+xml".

Yes, this reflects the WG consensus, and yes, the implication is that  
you need either summary or content.  I could live with taking that out  
of Atom, but we need someone to make a formal proposal and build  
consensus.

Wrong. I'm not sure why you guys think entry/head/author serves a 
different purpose than entry/source-feed/author.

Note: the editors were instructed to "highlight a couple sentences in 
the draft" because this WG didn't notice the broken example that's been 
there the whole time. Actually, I vaguely remember one person mentioning 
it a long time ago, but I may have been talking to myself as I was 
working on the draft and then forgotten to make the edit.

In any case, it's my opinion that it hurts interop because people start 
sticking cruft in there to meet the requirement. Remember Anil Dash's 
linkblog and RSS Bandit? Also, which existing syndication formats have a 
similar requirement? RFC2822 doesn't require a body either, btw. Also, 
there's linkblogs in general, and stuff like Bill's HTTPLR.

I only noticed the new draft on my way to bed, have only skimmed but
this looks a bit clunky:

-----------------------
3.3  Date Constructs

   A Date construct is an element whose content MUST conform to the
   date-time BNF rule in [RFC3339].  I.e., the content of this element
   matches this regular expression

   [0-9]{8}T[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}(\.[0-9]+)
        ?(Z|[\+\-][0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2})

   As a result, the date values conform to the following specifications:
   [RFC3339], [W3C.REC-xmlschema-2-20041028],
   [W3C.NOTE-datetime-19980827], and [ISO.8601.1988].
-----------------------

Personally I don't think the regexp really helps, it's not normative
(which regexp spec?) and not very informative (aren't they NFL
scores?). An example or two would be more use in recognising and
understanding the format(s) being referred to.

he examples in RFC 3339 work well, e.g.

[[
      1996-12-19T16:39:57-08:00

   This represents 39 minutes and 57 seconds after the 16th hour of
   December 19th, 1996 with an offset of -08:00 from UTC (Pacific
   Standard Time).  Note that this is equivalent to 1996-12-20T00:39:57Z
   in UTC.
]]

Wouldn't something like that be clearer?

Cheers,
Danny.

Here's the current wording:

    atom:entry elements MUST contain exactly one atom:author element,
    unless, in an Atom Feed Document, the atom:feed element contains
    an atom:author element itself.  atom:entry elements MUST NOT
    contain more than one atom:author element.

There are two directions we can go:

    atom:entry elements MUST NOT contain more than one atom:author
    element.

or:

    atom:entry elements MUST contain exactly one atom:author element,
    unless the atom:entry contains an atom:source-feed element which
    contains an atom:author element, or, in an Atom Feed Document,
    the atom:feed element contains an atom:author element itself.
    atom:entry elements MUST NOT contain more than one atom:author
    element.

Agree, but is Danny right about the missing normative reference? And 
shoot, we also missed the reference for the ABNF in atom:link.

I disagree - the Pace I wrote was about whitespace within content, 
whereas that anchor is in a section about document syntax. I know there 
are RSS users who think thinks like rel="  alternate  " are acceptable. 
Some discussion of this would be useful.

A quick bit of rewording would help. Currently it basically says "The 
type attribute may have the values..." three times with three different 
rules. Changing it to "On the summary element, the type atrribute may 
have the values..." stops the spec being apparently self-contradicting.

That looks good. One problem with HeadInEntry is that it didn't specify 
this kind of inheritance. Some general purpose wording saying that when 
source-feed is present, it becomes the "feed" element that entry/feed 
dependence rules are evaulated against. Logically, it's the only was 
for compound feeds to work.

Write something down. I can't speak for Mark here, but I have no idea 
what needs to be said there.

Is it important to preserve the option not to include feed/author? Has 
anyone ever seen an Atom 0.3 feed that takes advantage of this provision?

I think I'd claim that the spec as-is rules out <link rel="  alternate 
">, but if it we have experience from the field saying that this is a 
common error, I'd have nothing against having something in the spec to 
head it off.

EDITORIAL:

There are a couple of places where we use "uri" in the markup, 
specifically the "atom:uri" element (3.2.2) and the "uri" attribute of 
"atom:generator" (4.2.5).

In both cases they're not actually URIs, they're IRIs, so the name is 
WRONG, except for nobody knows what an IRI is so renaming them "iri" 
would be confusing, and anyhow everyone thinks of URLs not *RIs, but 
naming them "url" would be wrong too, so why don't we actually change 
them to say what they're there for not what their syntax is and use 
"web" in both cases?  -Tim

Pardon? I remember the concept of three-way compatibility being 
popular. The only archived discussion I can find of the regex is Norm 
and Robert proposing it, Sam supporting, Julian saying he doesn't hate 
it and me criticising it for exactly the same reasons as Danny.

Also, the regex begins:

[0-9]{8}T

Which unless I'm mistaken requires the date section to be exactly 8 
digits with no punctuation. Yet RFC3339 defines the date section as 
having hyphens:

full-date = date-fullyear "-" date-month "-" date-mday

I don't think there's better proof of the regex's awfulness than, given 
the number of eyeballs that have been on it to get it into the spec, no 
one's noticed there's a glaring error in the very first term.

Keeping the name atom:uri is exactly what Martin, author of RFC3987 and 
PaceIRI, suggested.

Sounds good to me. This doesn't light up some religious war, does it?

Have to admit, I liked it a lot more before Graham pointed out that I

the regex is mostly useful for validating a datetime element, but it's not
much good for working out how to build it.

and it's not entirely useful for validating either ... according to the
regex:

   [0-9]{8}T[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}(\.[0-9]+)
        ?(Z|[\+\-][0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2})

this is valid:

      19961332T25:79:57-08:91

which it isn't.

I think this is definitely worth a try, although it sounds a bit
weird at first (it's not the whole Web, is it?).

If they're IRIs, then call them that. if nobody knows what an IRI is,

If you allow declaring the language, why do you disallow declaring the 
dominant writing direction (dir)? Shouldn't they be allowed or 
disallowed together?

d) Get rid of the wrapper div.

Refering to http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#AVNormalize, it seems to me that
rel="  alternate  " should be processed as rel="alternate", because (in my
opinion) the rel attribute should be declared of type NMTOKENS, and not
CDATA.

...maybe just giving a DTD in addition to the RNG schema would be
sufficient...

ps. 'email' in the Person construct could also be handled by 'web' (or
'url/uri/iri') using the mailto: scheme, if only multiple of these were 
allowed per person-like-thing.

While we're at it, we can relive 10-15 years of URN vs URI debates on the 
Atom list instead of shipping product. Are you appealing to some notion of 
'online' versus 'offline' resource? A spec could be cited from the formal 
Atom spec? Such distinctions are notoriously hard to maintain... If you
want to add an implicit (and imho illadviced) notion of
'URI dereferencability' into the spec, it'd be good to see candidate
text for inclusion, rather than doing it via attribute/element name 
choice. Note that the deferencability of identifiers changes over time, 
as infrastructure is deployed (or rots away); eg. DOIs, gopher:, java: URIs...

I do not really understand what you are trying to ask or say here. I
suppose you object to call those elements and attributes anything but
"web" for some reason or you object to the alternate names I suggested.
In case of the latter you seem to somehow think that at/about/internet
suggests what you call "dereferencability" while "web" does not. That
would not make much sense to me, so I fail to get your point.

Maybe I misread your intent, in that case. You objected strongly
("certainly not...") without giving any supporting reason. Could
you elaborate on the reasoning behind your objection to "web"?

URIs and IRIs are the way we identify things 
(on, in, to and for...) the Web. So "web" to me seems natural. If
the construct is only for identifying a subset of things, then some
other name might be more appropriate. I read you as taking that
latter position.

Not everyone is going to use a DTD even if provided, so providing a DTD 
would cause harm, because parsers would report different things 
depending on the use of the DTD.

Hi there,

It seems something's missing about authors and contributors...

This is allowed:
<entry>
<author><name>Thomas Broyer</name></author>
<contributors>
<contributor><name>Thomas Broyer</name></contributor></name>
...
</entry>

as well as:
<contributors>
<contributor><name>Thomas Broyer</name></contributor>
<contributor><name>Thomas Broyer</name></contributor>
</contributors>

or even (less obvious):
<contributors>
<contributor><name>Thomas Broyer</name></contributor>
<contributor><name>Broyer, Thomas</name></contributor>
<contributor><name>T. Broyer</name></contributor>
</contributors>

or
<contributors>
<contributor>
  <name>Thomas Broyer</name>
  <email>thomas@home.example.net</email>
</contributor>
<contributor>
  <name>Thomas Broyer</name>
  <email>t.broyer@work.example.com</email>
</contributor>
<contributor>
  <name>Thomas Broyer</name>
  <email>i.am.an.homonym@example.org</email>
</contributors>

There's no way in Atom to indentify persons as the same person or just
homonyms!

We also can't store a feed/entry _efficiently_ in a relational database or
an object graph.
There's no way for a processor to tell its user which other entries (in the
same feed or even in other feeds!) have been authored or contributed by the
same person (think about the "by the same author" in printed books).

PacePersonRef would have solved part of the problem (identifying other
entries authored or contributed by someone in the same feed; but not in any
feed).

I propose adding an optional atom:id element to the Person construct
content model, with the following rules (to be reworded before adding into
the spec):
 a) There MUST NOT exists more than one contributor with the same id in an
entry of feed
 b) There MUST NOT exists a contributor with the same id as the author in
an entry or feed
 c) Each Person construct (in a feed) refering to the same
person/organization/etc. SHOULD be identical (same value for atom:name,
atom:id, atom:email and atom:uri; and if, e.g., atom:email is given, it
SHOULD appear in each of these Person construct)
 d) Person constructs refering to different persons/organizations/etc.
SHOULD use different atom:name values all over the feed/entry
 e) atom:id SHOULD be provided if known but MUST NOT be generated
automatically "just to provide one" or be given without the actual
person/organization/etc. aknowledgement (as it is a _globally_ unique
identifier).

The main impact is the validation of the above rules, otherwise, the
impact is rather reduced.

As I already said, this would greatly help storing feeds efficiently in
databases or object graphs.

Any comment?

I think the question is which of these is meant by "the web":

a) HTML over HTTP(S), plus images and other things that get rendered in 
HTML documents
b) everything with a URL, and the network those things are accessed over
c) the internet

c) has entered common usage, at least among the general populous, but 
technically, a) or b) would be more accurate.  I've always thought of 
"the web" as a), but while a) is certainly the core of the web, I 
suppose it makes sense to think that "the web" encompasses other things 
that a) is able to connect you to.

If it's not too late, I wouldn't be opposed to this, but I'm not sure I

+1 as long as this doesn't mean that you can't have duplicate IDs in a 
single entry or at the feed level, but that the same ID CAN exist in 
different entries, or at the feed level AND in entries.  I imagine this 
is what you mean, but just to be sure it's clear...

+1 with the same condition as above

I'm not sure I'd agree with this for a few reasons:

1) A person acting in a different role as the author of a particular 
entry, for example, might want to use a different email address, URI, 
etc.  If we specify that that person SHOULD have a different atom:id 
for their different roles if that role would affect the appropriate 
values for the other Person construct children, then okay.

2) I don't think we should require (or virtually require) that each 
Person construct sharing an ID contain the same set of child elements.  
But we could say that the values of any child elements that ARE 
included SHOULD be identical.

>  d) Person constructs refering to different persons/organizations/etc.

-1.  What if two people named John Smith contribute an entry to the 
same feed?  Does one have to alter their name?  Having a different ID, 
or one having an ID and the other not having one should be how the 
distinction is made.

+1.

atom:www seems just as natural by that reasoning...

If there is a problem with marking up what used to be URIs and which are 
now IRIs using 'atom:uri' the renaming choice should be then be obvious 
(note, there is a big assumption about there being a problem in the 
first place).

To no-one in particular: trying to ride pet monikers into the spec as 
this stage is bogus.

I encourage Atom to follow the WebArch REC, let's call it (d),
http://www.w3.org/TR/webarch/#intro
[[
The World Wide Web (WWW, or simply Web) is an information space in which
the items of interest, referred to as resources, are identified by
global identifiers called Uniform Resource Identifiers (URI).
]]

Yes, I think that's the webarch line too. If HTTP went away, and we all
used ftp:, freenet: or gopher: systems, and wrote our docs in SVG
instead, it'd still be the Web. So (a) is the current core of the Web
only in very pragmatic, market-based terms. 

You're also right that (c) is common usage. I've lately taken to asking
non-geeks about their use of "the Web". Often as not, they respond
with "what, you mean The Internet? yeah, I use that, ...".

Going with Webarch's (d), I think fits with using 'web' within the Atom 
spec... it's neutral in ways that avoid debates that typically chew up
time on the URI mailing list.

"To specify the author of an entry use the author element. You can then
use the name child element to specify the name of the author, the email
child element to specify the email of the author, and the web child
element to specify the web of the author." That's crazy Frontpage-speak.

That's because the underlying semantics of the element are vague. The
name matches the current semantics. Shoot something other than the
messenger!

If we mean homepage-or-blog, let's say so. If we mean social security
number, let's say so. If we mean phone number, let's say so. If we mean 
DNAchecksum, lets say so. Currently, all of those things could be
represented in the Web using URIs/IRIs, and could fit in that field
quite nicely.

Let's ignore that not all IRIs are URIs and let's assume that this is a
definition of "Web", are you saying that this definition is equivalent
to 'the set of all URIs is the information space "Web"'? If those are
not equivalent I am not sure what you are suggesting here.

The definition says, in effect, "The Web is an information space in 
which we use URIs when identifying things". It does not rule out 
other, complementary, identification mechanisms, nor does it equate the 
Web with any specific set of entities. It is an over-arching
abstraction, not a set of URI-named things, nor the set of URIs. I guess
it is (and I cringe at the word), a bit like "cyberspace". Nobody really 
expects there to be real answers to "how many things are 'in' cyberspace?", 
since that is over-stretching the metaphor. Same with Web, I think.

FYI:

There are several problems with the RELAX NG Grammar in Appendix B.
Most have to do with line-wrapping (which doesn't work in exactly the
obvious way in the compact syntax) but there's also a missing double
quote in atomInlineTextContent and the definition of atomId has lost
some content.

I'll provide a new version for 06 that is formatted for 72 column wide
pages.

These are all my mistakes. One question: Julian has repeatedly had 
problems with the schematron parts. Is this related to the 
line-wrapping? If not, I'm kind of worried that someone like Julian 
couldn't make it work.

Right, nor does it say that an item of interest identified by a "Uniform
Resource Identifier" is in this information space. People not familiar
with IRIs do not consider items of interest on their local hard drive
identified by a file:/// URL items in the information space "web" and
would consequently think that using <author><web>file:///</web></author>
is improper use of the element. That's not the case, so we have

  <uri> -- wrong
  <iri> -- unknown to many users
  <web> -- misleading to many users

I suggest confronting users with something unknown is better than
misleading them.

How about something with less meaning attached to it, such as "ref"?

I think these should both be IRI references, not IRIs.

I like this - even though I disagree with the constraints - as it 
follows
nicely on the parallel I developed in the Madonna example [1]
between personal identity and entry identity.

Clearly if the same atom:id were to be used then we are identifying the
id that appears in an entry and the id that would appear in the Person
construct.

But I have argued that the relation between an entry and the relation
of atom:id is a functional one, ie:
   - that an entry can only have one atom:id relation to an id construct
   - that an id construct can have many 1/atom:id (the inverse relation)
     relations to Entry constructs.

This makes sense: entries can change over time and we wish to be able
to capture this fact logically. Entries as they appear in an Atom feed
are time-stamped objects. Each of these time stamped objects with the
same id is a different version of the same timeless entry.

This could be equally true of the Person construct and its relation
to the atom:id that identifies it. But in that case we have to allow,
as with entries, that things can change. So that one could have a
Person construct with the same id and yet different properties (people 
change
their e-mail address over time, live in different places, etc) In the 
atom case
this is at present not very useful, since there are not many other 
properties,
and since we do not time stamp, as we do with entries, the Person
constructs. But this would have to be a consequence of using the same
atom:id tag as we use in the entry. And so consequently the proposed
restriction (c) is incompatible with the atom:id name.

It is important to notice that there are two relations (at least) that
relate temporally changing objects like Persons and Entries to their
ids:
   (1) a relation that relates a temporal part of the person to the id
   (2) a relation that relates the unchanging mereological sum [2] of 
these
      parts to the id.

(2) may be an inverse functional relation, ie:
	- there is only one such object related to the id construct in such a 
way.
     - there may be more than one id that identifies the same person.

  (2) is closer to the relation the foaf [3] folks have used to
   identify the Person and agent objects. And (2) is also closer to
   the intent of your restriction (c). Given the popularity of foaf,
   people may be inclined to associate the atom:Person construct with the
   foaf:Person.

Note also that these are two different but non exclusive relations. The
unchanging Person that is Tim Bray, the 4 dimensional object that exists
from a certain conception moment to a certain death moment (assuming he
is mortal), has many temporal parts, one or more of which may be reading
this sentence. The 4 dimensional unchanging object has a relation to Tim
Bray's social security number. But so of course do the temporal parts
mentioned above. If we have two different descriptions of this 4 
dimensional
object then we can merge these descriptions and still say something 
true.
This is not true of any of the temporal parts. One of the temporal parts
reading the above sentence may be scratching his head in Vancouver and 
the
other may be flying over California, and it would be wrong to merge the 
two
and say that they were both in Vancouver and over California.

So in conclusion either:
   - you have to drop (c)
   - or you have to give the relation a name other than atom:id

The use cases are good, and even before you start looking at the
relationship between entries and people there are limits to what you
can do with the author/contributor constructs.

This general issue has had 4+ years of hammering in theory and
practical deployment around FOAF, which is been successfully used in
RSS 1.0 feeds. This kind of data can be stored/queried reasonably
efficiently in databases.

There's a write-up "Identifying things in FOAF":

I noticed another bug in the RNG. The collected RNG is missing a '?'
after atomIcon:

> atomSourceFeed =
>    element atom:source-feed {
>       atomCommonAttributes,
>       (  atomTitle
>       & atomUpdated
>       & atomLink+
>       & atomIcon

should be:

> atomSourceFeed =
>    element atom:source-feed {
>       atomCommonAttributes,
>       (  atomTitle
>       & atomUpdated
>       & atomLink+
>       & atomIcon?

Two more things I've just noticed:

PersonConstructs aren't currently allowing extension elements.

anyForeignAttribute and anyForeignElement are currently not

-1. The WG shouldn't contemplate standardizing identity management at 
this time.

This is a complex problem domain, even in closed systems. Feed format 
specs are not the right place to try and deal with it. Extend Atom with 
FOAF instead if you really need these capabilities in the near term.

Yes, it could be pinned out until the next Atom version.

I can't disagree, but the Atom spec don't say anything about having the 
same person as the author and contributor, or multiple times as 
contributor to the same entry, and this is quite "bizarre", isn't it? 
There could be a line in the spec suggesting a person to appear only 
once per entry, even if we can't enforce it at a syntax level.

And let's use a FOAF extension until something is added to Atom in a 
future version.

Yep, given the timescales involved, that sounds like a good pragmatic solution.

Even if Atom doesn't support it, and feeds don't use the extension,
your own database can implement something like FOAF "smushing" based
on properties of entries. If you find two entries with an author
(foaf:name) "Bill de h&#211;ra" associated (directly or indirectly)
with URI (foaf:homepage) http://www.dehora.net/journal/ then chances
are it's the same person.

Cheers,
Danny.

Well actually I was thinking about creating a "unified feed API" (in 
.NET, but could be ported to other languages) and trying to reduce 
memory footprint by reusing Person objects, as well as providing 
relations (bidi-arcs) between a Person and the Entries he/she has 
authored or contributed.

End of discussion, until next Atom version ;o)

Proposal for test procedure:

- please publish an updated RNC file somewhere (on atomsub.org?)

- those who already produce experimental atom-06 feeds, please check 
them with that RNC

(my test feeds are <http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/webdav.atom> and 
<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/webdav-ietf.atom>)

Every single Atom keyword apart from this new one is a single 
non-hyphenated word. This one sticks out horribly.

Proposal:
Rename atom:source-feed to atom:source

Sounds good to me. I picked PubSub's deployed name for clarity, and to 
avoid confusion with the atom:source element we used to have. Long term, 
atom:source is nicer.

Since Norm has offered to rework the RNC, we can use that. I'd be happy 
to host the RNC on atompub.org, but anywhere should be fine.

The second point reflects a problem with the draft. I noticed this while 
writing it, but figured the WG needed to spot it.

   "The atom:entry element MAY contain any namespace-qualified
    [W3C.REC-xml-names-19990114] elements as children."

Ok, but does that imply foreign content is not allowed elsewhere? I 
suggest the WG did not intend for that to be the case, the sentence from 
6.4 more accurately reflects WG opinion:

   "Atom allows foreign markup anywhere in an Atom document. Child
    elements of atom:entry and atom:feed are considered "metadata"
    elements, and are described below. Child elements of Person
    Constructs are considered to apply to the construct. The role of
    other foreign markup is undefined by this specification."

My personal view was that Person constructs should not define the 
meaning of foreign content, but the WG clearly favored it.

I was thinking more of whitespace between elements, rather than that in 
attributes. E.g., "Whitespace in between the children of atom:feed and 
atom:element is not semantically significant."

Yep, I don't see why not. Irrespective of memory etc, this would seem
(IMHO) the best approach to Atom Persons if you're programming with
objects.

The Atom model is only specified through prose and the implications of
syntax constraints, but I'm sure there's enough to start a "unified
API". I personally believe the best approach to this is through a
unified machine-readable model, specified in RDF/OWL. This is
more-or-less the approach to Atom being taken by Henry Story in BlogEd
(Java) and Mark Nottingham for Sparta (Python).

But only the beginning of implementation!

Danny.

This is the reason I'm +1 on keeping it 'atom:uri'.

Hi,

I just reviewed my -05 issues list, and updated it based on the changes 
in -06:

05-C02, 3.1.1, "type" attribute

<http://atompub.org/2005/01/27/draft-ietf-atompub-format-05.html#rfc.section.3.1.1>
-06: 
<http://atompub.org/2005/03/12/draft-ietf-atompub-format-06.html#rfc.section.3.1.1>, 
examples updated

Suggested examples for TEXT, HTML and XHTML: a title containing the 
string "Less: <", where the less sign displays emphasized when possible..

<atomTitle type="TEXT">
   Less: &lt;
</atomTitle>

<atomTitle type="HTML">
   Less: &lt;em> &amp;lt; &lt;/em>
</atomTitle>

<atomTitle type="XHTML" 
xmlns:xhtml="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><xhtml:div>
   Less: <xhtml:em> &lt; </xhtml:em>
</xhtml:div></atomTitle>

(hope I got these right).


05-C05, 4.15.3 processing model

<http://atompub.org/2005/01/27/draft-ietf-atompub-format-05.html#rfc.section.4.15.3>
-06: 
<http://atompub.org/2005/03/12/draft-ietf-atompub-format-06.html#rfc.section.4.1.3.3>

"If the value of "type" ends with "+xml" or "/xml", the content of 
atom:content may include child elements, and SHOULD be suitable for 
handling by software that knows the indicated media type. If the "src" 
attribute is not provided, this would normally mean that the 
"atom:content" element would contain a single child element which would 
serve as the root element of the XML document of the indicated type."

The statement about the "src" attribute seems to be unnecessary given 
the SHOULD-level requirement to have local content (thus no "src" 
attribute).

"If the value of "type" begins with "text/" the content of atom:content 
MUST NOT contain child elements."

See 4.15.2: so is this a SHOULD or a MUST?

Update -06: I'm still confused by the text. For instance:

- is it intentional that 4.1.3.3 says ``If the value of "type" ends with 
"+xml" or "/xml"'', while 4.1.3.2 used ``If the value of type begins 
with "text/" or ends with "+xml"''?

- also, if content for +xml SHOULD be local (4.1.3.2), why does 4.1.3.3. 
point 4, make statements about situations where it comes with @src 
attribute? Maybe it's not a SHOULD requirement after all?


05-E02, Notational Conventions

<http://atompub.org/2005/01/27/draft-ietf-atompub-format-05.html#RELAX-NG>

I think this should come with the following URL: 
<http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/relax-ng/spec-20011203.html>

Update -06: I think it would be good if all W3C references came with URLs.


05-E03, Notational Conventions

"A collected schema appears in an informative appendix."

(refer directly by section/appendix number). Same for some other 
intra-document references.


05-E05, 3.2.2 atom:uri

"The content of atom:uri in a Person construct MUST be a URI reference 
[RFC2396bis]."
06: 
<http://atompub.org/2005/03/12/draft-ietf-atompub-format-06.html#rfc.section.3.2.2>

Directly point to RFC3986's section (here: 4.1).

Update -06: I still think that spelling out the section number will make 
it easier to actually locate the definition.


05-E06, 3.2.3 atom:email

http://atompub.org/2005/03/12/draft-ietf-atompub-format-06.html#rfc.section.3.2.3

"Its content MUST be an e-mail address [RFC2822]."

Again, please refer directly to the definition. In this case, it seems 
to be section 3.4.1 (addr-spec production).


05-E08, 4.6.2 rel attribute

<http://atompub.org/2005/01/27/draft-ietf-atompub-format-05.html#rfc.section.4.6.2>
06: 
<http://atompub.org/2005/03/12/draft-ietf-atompub-format-06.html#rfc.section.4.2.9.2>

If we use (A)BNF syntax, the spec needs to say so and reference the 
definition normatively (for instance, RFC2234).

"...same name registered within the IANA Registry of Link Relations 
Section 9, and..."

Put the section reference into brackets.


05-E12, 11 references

<http://atompub.org/2005/01/27/draft-ietf-atompub-format-05.html#rfc.references>
06: 
<http://atompub.org/2005/03/12/draft-ietf-atompub-format-06.html#rfc.references>

Here's a producedural question: if we have normative references to the 
protocol and the feed discovery document, the spec won't get published 
until those are done, too. Is everybody aware of that?

Update -06: we still have a normative reference to the feed discovery 
spec, which, according to <http://tools.ietf.org/wg/atompub/>, has 
expired. If this reference is expected to stay in, we'll have to 
actually finish that spec as well :-)



Best regards, Julian

Indeed. Could it possibly matter less? We have more important things to 
talk about.

..and here's a set of *new* issues I found while re-reading the draft...:


06-C01, 3.1.1 "type" Attribute

<http://atompub.org/2005/03/12/draft-ietf-atompub-format-06.html#rfc.section.3.1.1>

This has been mentioned before...: as far as I can tell, it's far easier 
for recipients to process "xhtml" compared to "html" (no tag-soup parser 
needed), thus *any* kind of change that encourages "xhtml" would be 
appreciated.


06-C02, 3.1.1 "type" Attribute

<http://atompub.org/2005/03/12/draft-ietf-atompub-format-06.html#rfc.section.3.1.1>

Here's a question. Is this...:

<summary type="html">
   overlapping &lt;b>markup &lt;>is&lt;/b> bad&lt;/i>.
</summary>

legal Atom? As far as I can tell, here we have a SHOULD level 
requirement to only transport well-formed HTML4 content, right?


06-C03, 3.3 Date Constructs

<http://atompub.org/2005/03/12/draft-ietf-atompub-format-06.html#rfc.section.3.3>

As others have pointed out, the regexp is incorrect ("-" characters in 
full-date part are missing). Also, I'm not sure whether it requires the 
timezone information; if it doesn't, this isn't what RFC3339 defines. In 
general, I find RFC3339 much easier to read:

--snip--
    date-fullyear   = 4DIGIT
    date-month      = 2DIGIT  ; 01-12
    date-mday       = 2DIGIT  ; 01-28, 01-29, 01-30, 01-31 based on
                              ; month/year
    time-hour       = 2DIGIT  ; 00-23
    time-minute     = 2DIGIT  ; 00-59
    time-second     = 2DIGIT  ; 00-58, 00-59, 00-60 based on leap second
                              ; rules
    time-secfrac    = "." 1*DIGIT
    time-numoffset  = ("+" / "-") time-hour ":" time-minute
    time-offset     = "Z" / time-numoffset

    partial-time    = time-hour ":" time-minute ":" time-second
                      [time-secfrac]
    full-date       = date-fullyear "-" date-month "-" date-mday
    full-time       = partial-time time-offset

    date-time       = full-date "T" full-time
--snip--


06-E01, 1.2 Example

<http://atompub.org/2005/03/12/draft-ietf-atompub-format-06.html#rfc.section.1.2>

Is it intentional that the example is inconsistently indented?


06-E02, 1.3 Notational Conventions

<http://atompub.org/2005/03/12/draft-ietf-atompub-format-06.html#rfc.section.1.3>

...speaks about namespace prefixe*s* being defined; but then only 
defines a single one.



06-E03, 5.1 Digital Signatures

<http://atompub.org/2005/03/12/draft-ietf-atompub-format-06.html#rfc.section.5.1>

s/namespace IRI/namespace URI/ (or "namespace name")


06-E04, 6.2 Extensions To the Atom Vocabulary

<http://atompub.org/2005/03/12/draft-ietf-atompub-format-06.html#rfc.section.6.2>

--snip--
considered "foreign "markup".
--snip--

(quoting).


06-E05, 8.1 HTML and XHTML Content

<http://atompub.org/2005/03/12/draft-ietf-atompub-format-06.html#rfc.section.8.1>

"See the security sections of RFC 2854 and HTML 4.01 for guidance."

(use proper references)

"resource", "ref", "about", etc. work for me, but not any of those.

Thanks for the close reading. Comments inline.

I've heard client and server implementors take every possible position 
on the matter. I'm not sure why this issue must be raised over and over.

Seems like overspecification to me. What's the benefit of going into 
detail here?

Because I feel it's important. There will be many clients that won't 
include a tag-soup parser, and markup sent as "html" will thus be lost. 
So *if* a producer has a choice of using "html" or "xhtml", I think 
"xhtml" is preferrable, and the spec should say so.

I'd like to understand whether the spec indeed allows tag-soup, or if it 
actually requires valid HTML (which it seems to do right now). Thus, if 
people think that they can dump "arbitrary" HTML (such as user-entered) 
into type="html" elements, they are wrong as far as the spec currently 
states.

My first tendency is towards "pick anything", but if there is to be
discussion I'll happily throw in a couple of cents.

Isn't the question: what is this thing we're naming? 

Using atom:uri/atom:iri is only marginally better than saying
atom:string - it describes how the identifier is put together, it
tells you nothing about what's being identified.
 
I don't think we want atom:id (or similar) because the URI/IRI is only
related to the construct, it isn't an identifier for it.

I've pasted the relevant bits of the spec below. One is an IRI
"associated with" a person, the other an IRI "relevant" to the
generator.

Shouldn't the name of the attribute reflect the relationship between
the Atom construct and the resource being identified?

But both atom:associated and atom:relevant seem pretty clunky. 

So why not atom:related?

Cheers,
Danny.





3.2.2  The "atom:uri" Element

The "atom:uri" element's content conveys an IRI associated with the
   person.  Person constructs MAY contain an atom:uri element, but MUST
   NOT contain more than one.  The content of atom:uri in a Person
   construct MUST be an IRI reference [RFC3987].

4.2.5  The "atom:generator" Element

The atom:generator element MAY have a "uri" attribute whose value
   MUST be an IRI reference [RFC3987].  When dereferenced, that IRI
   SHOULD produce a representation that is relevant to that agent.

Good point.  My impression is that we do currently have SHOULD-level 
mandate to serve valid HTML; recognizing that most real-world 
implementors do make a best-effort with tag soup.  Anyone who thinks 
that the language needs improving should suggest improvements. -Tim

Including that character is a smart idea, but I don't like the text 
itself. Mark and I will try to think of something, but suggestions are

This section needs to be reworked. It doesn't know what it wants to be. 
It mixes guidelines for producers with a processing model for clients.

Agree. I grabbed the bibliography from resource.org, which doesn't

I support a SHOULD on that. The Robustness Principle would suggest exactly
that. Consumers of Atom may make an attempt to parse arbitrary HTML-like
content, but producers should make the effort to serve clean HTML.

That free-range HTML is nasty stuff. In the past week, we had two customers
freely mixing slash and backslash in their URL paths. Sigh.

type="url" will get me lynched by standards purists.
type="iri" will get me lynched by confused authors.
type="uri" is a compromise.

I hereby promise that should I ever again be tempted to raise an issue 
around the naming of web addresses, I shall strike myself firmly on the 
head with a heavy blunt object until I come to my senses. -Tim

/ Graham <dtcd@mac.com> was heard to say:
| Also, the regex begins:
|
| [0-9]{8}T
|
| Which unless I'm mistaken requires the date section to be exactly 8
| digits with no punctuation. Yet RFC3339 defines the date section as
| having hyphens:

Agreed. That should be [0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}

| full-date =3D date-fullyear "-" date-month "-" date-mday
|
| I don't think there's better proof of the regex's awfulness than,
| given the number of eyeballs that have been on it to get it into the
| spec, no one's noticed there's a glaring error in the very first term.

Uhm. Yeah. Fair point.

| 1.3  Notational Conventions
|=20
|    This specification describes conformance in terms of two kinds of
|    artefacts; Atom Feed Documents and Atom Entry documents.

s/artefacts/artifacts/

I gather artefact is the common British variant, so feel free to
ignore this suggestion if you prefer the 'e' variant :-)

|    Additionally, it places some requirements on Atom Processors.
|=20
|    The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
|    "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
|    document are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, [RFC2119], as
|    scoped to those conformance targets.
|=20
|    This specification uses XML Namespaces [W3C.REC-xml-names-19990114]
|    to uniquely identify XML elements names.  It uses the following

s/elements/element/

| 3.  Common Atom Constructs
|=20
|    Many of Atom's elements share a few common structures.  This section
|    defines a few such structures and their requirements for convenient

s/a few such/those/

| 3.3  Date Constructs
|=20
|    A Date construct is an element whose content MUST conform to the
|    date-time BNF rule in [RFC3339].  I.e., the content of this element
|    matches this regular expression:
|=20
|    [0-9]{8}T[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}(\.[0-9]+)

Change [0-9]{8} to [0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}

| 4.1.3  The "atom:content" Element
|=20
|    The "atom:content" element either contains or links to the content of
|    the entry.  Except for the "type" and "src" attributes, the content
|    of atom:content is language-sensitive.  atom:entry elements MUST
|    contain zero or one atom:content elements.

The constraint that "atom:entry elements MUST contain zero or one
atom:content elements" belongs in the bulleted list in the previous
section.

| 4.2.9.2  The "rel" Attribute
|=20
|    atom:link elements MAY have an "rel" attribute that indicates the
|    link relation type.  If the "rel" attribute is not present, the link
|    element MUST be interpreted as if the link relation type is
|    "alternate".
|=20
|    rel_attribute =3D segment-nz-nc / IRI

If "segment-nz-nc" is defined somewhere, we need a reference. If it isn't,
I suggest using "atomNCName" instead as that is at least defined in the
RELAX NG Grammar.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm

Oops. One more.

| 6.2  Extensions To the Atom Vocabulary
|=20
|    Future versions of this specification may add new elements and

I think we do. Do we really want to *outlaw* the following?

I think we want to define their role in those locations.

I'm not sure the -06 draft tells a consistent story about
extensibility.

| 6.2  Extensions To the Atom Vocabulary
|=20
|    Future versions of this specification may add new elements and
|    attributes to the Atom markup vocabulary.  Software written to
|    conform to this version of the specification will not be able to
|    process such markup correctly and, in fact, will not be able to
|    distinguish it from markup error.  For the purposes of this
|    discussion, unrecognized markup from the Atom vocabulary will be
|    considered "foreign "markup".
|=20
|    Unlike markup from other vocabularies, foreign markup from the Atom
|    vocabulary MAY appear at any location in an Atom document.

That last paragraph suggests that foreign markup *not* from the Atom
vocabulary may not appear at any location, that it must only appear in
specified places.

But

| 6.4  Extension Elements
|=20
|    Atom allows foreign markup anywhere in an Atom document.

Then we're told foreign markup is allowed anywhere. Do we really mean
that?

The text in 4.1.2 seems related to me:

| 4.1.2  The "atom:entry" Element
|=20
|    The "atom:entry" element represents an individual entry, acting as a
|    container for metadata and data associated with the entry.  This
|    element can appear as a child of the atom:feed element, or it can
|    appear as the document (i.e., top-level) element of a standalone Atom
|    Entry Document.
|=20
|    The atom:entry element MAY contain any namespace-qualified
|    [W3C.REC-xml-names-19990114] elements as children.  This
|    specification assigns no significance to the order of appearance of
|    the child elements of atom:entry.

Saying that atom:entry may contain namespace-qualified elements as children
really looks out of place. If we say it here, why don't we say it for
atom:feed and other places? I think that sentence should be deleted.

Assuming that we *don't* mean for extension elements to appear *anywhere*,
then were do we want them?

I think we want them:

1. In atom:feed metadata
2. In atom:entry metadata
3. In PersonConstructs

Should they also be allowed *between* atom:entry elements in a feed?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm

As the spec uses "interleave" content models, I think they are/will... 
though I wonder why interlaced content models are used instead of 
"ordered" content models... that would also allow DTD or XML Schema (or 
any other schema requiring deterministic content models) to be used to 
validate Atom documents...

I've updated my Atom to RDF/XML XSLT transform to implement draft-06.
I think that it implements everything, including:

 * xml:lang and xml:base resolution

 * Structured and Simple Extension constructs

 * Resolving of defaulted atom:author elements.

There is an RDFS schema of the model up there too.

http://djpowell.net/atomrdf/0.1/


Does anyone else have any experimental draft-06 feeds available for
testing?

Because the spec says they aren't ordered.

Well, by "ordered", I actually meant "non-interleaved", e.g. having a
deterministic content model...

I agree. This allows images to be relative. Please note
that in both cases, fragments are allowed, although I don't
know any image format for which they'd be useful at the moment.

I know this discussion has occured before, but I would like to revisit
the question of why an atom:feed MUST contain at least one atom:link
element with a relation of "alternate" (-06 4.1.1).

The defintition of the alternate representation is it "identifes an 
alternate
version of the resource" (Sec 4.2.9.2). However, is it realistic to believe
that *every* feed has an alternate version?

This becomes even more confusing if one considers the possibility of
branching out using service.feed to filtered, searched or aggregated
views. One would expect the link to have an alternate representation of
the filtered, searched or aggregated feed as well.

I have seen some examples where a home page was used for all of the
alternate representations. Is a home page really an alternate 
representation?
Putting a home page in feeds that are filtered or aggregated versions
is also misleading because the home page would most likely not be an
alternate representation of the filtered/aggregated feed.

I can also think of situations where a server hosts feeds that do not have
an alternate representation nor have a home page. In this case, why
have a required link that serves no useful purpose.

Why isn't this requirement a "may" instead of a "must"? I can see having
a link with rel=alternate if indeed a alternate version does exist. It 
does not
make sense to put in some something misleading if an alternate does not
exist.

Web Forms 2 now uses |type="url"| to be more consistent with CSS2.1. I 
suggest Atom does the same. (Change atom:uri to atom:url.)

	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.

Hello Dan,

The problem I have with using "web" is that there is a "pars pro
toto" (or probably rather the other way) problem here. I.e.
the Web is defined by *all* the resources identified by an URI/IRI,
whereas the element we are trying to name points to just one of
them.

Given all the proposals, my opinion is currently about as follows:

[wrap up and ship:    +1]

ref/href: +0.8

uri, iri: +0.5

at, about: +0.2

web, internet: +- 0

url: -0.2   (outdated)


Regards,    Martin.

It may be outdated, but it is the one everyone is using and it is also 
used by CSS.

One of the impacts identified [1] with PaceLangSpecific, was that we
needed to make a decision about the language-sensitivity of
extensions.

I didn't propose an amendment to PaceExtensionConstruct at the time,
because PaceExtensionConstruct had been accused by the chairs of being
"unstable" due to the amendments made following earlier feedback.


[Abstract]

Structured Extension constructs should be language-sensitive.


[Rationale]

Currently, the specification implies that Structured Extension
constructs are not language-sensitive. This means that they aren't
allowed to pay attention to in-scope xml:lang tags.


[Proposal]

In Section 6.4.2, add the sentence:

  Structured Extension constructs are language-sensitive.

looking good.

Note also:

3.2  Person Constructs
...
   Person constructs MAY be extended by namespace-qualified element
   children.

I'd suggest either striking this or (preferably) adding:
"See 6.4  Extension Elements".

Cheers,
Danny.

Great stuff!

I've updated links etc. accordingly at:

Anything needs adding there, please let me know.

Hi, I just looked at Lawrence Lessig's presentation to the Library of 
Congress [1],
and noticed his blog that shows Yahoo! search launching a creative 
commons search
engine [2].

Clearly it would be very helpful if there were a machine readable way 
to set copyright
policy on entries. Any thoughts on that?

well, we did something similar with p3p, metadata consisting of a a vocab,
either associated with a namespace element, or with an html method.

during the life of the drm wg i discussed the possibility of a similar
mechanism to express some drm metadata.

from my pov, p3p already expresses licensing language -- the recipients
and retention and access (republication, distribution, persistence,
original author rights) elements in particular. "your data is mine, i get
to munge it arbitrarily and flog it on to others under arbitrary terms,
indefintly, and no you can't change anything" -- p3p allows alternate
expressions of "license" (data collection practices).

There are several RSS feeds out there that have dates where the day is 
accurate but the time is always the same (usually 10am for some 
reason), regardless of the time of publication, which completely messes 
up sorting the day's entries. Currently the Atom spec implies that this 
is bad practice by requiring a time, but could we make it explicit?

Proposal: Add to Date Construct section:
"Date values must have a granularity of one second"

	I recently wrote on my blog about issues with Creative Commons. I
suggest you read the post. See: 
	http://bobwyman.pubsub.com/main/2005/03/lazyweb_query_a.html

	The basic message is that we should not be writing anything that
implies that Creative Commons should be used for Digital Rights Management.
To do so would be a violation of both the letter and spirit of the Creative
Commons Licenses.
	Creative Commons is about granting rights, not restricting them. The
goal of creative commons is to take content whose use would be normally
restricted by existing copyright law and to "liberate" it by permitting the
owner to explicitly grant particular uses. Although this is commonly
misunderstood, there is no language in Creative Common licenses that allows
you to say that some particular use is *not* permitted. Creative Commons
only lets you say what uses are permitted.
	The misunderstanding typically comes around the "non-commercial use"
stuff in Creative Commons. People often read this as a statement that
commercial use is prohibited. However, this reading is wrong. What a
"non-commercial" Creative Commons license does is grant non-commercial
rights while being silent on commercial use. Such a license says, in effect:
"You can ignore whatever laws, etc. would normally restrict non-commercial
use. However, any restrictions established by law, etc. that apply to
commercial use are left unmodified." A "non-commercial" Creative Commons
license does not prohibit commercial use -- it simply fails to address the
issue.
	Thus, if you were to build a system that prohibited commercial use
of content with a Creative Commons non-commercial use license, you would be
saying that you thought that existing law, etc. prohibited commercial use in
the absence of an explicit grant of such rights via Creative Commons or some
other mechanism. What this means is that you would have to implement a
policy that prohibited all commercial use unless there was a Creative
Commons commercial use grant. Basically, you would have to shut down all
commercial use of RSS/Atom, by default and only permit it if it was
explicitly addressed in licenses. Given that this would immediately "turn
off" just about the entire Blogosphere, it probably isn't what you want  to
do.
	If you want a mechanism to permit a rights owner to affirm that
something like commercial use is prohibited, you would have to create a new
format -- something other than Creative Commons. Unfortunately, to do that,
you would have to first find some tiny hole in the carpet of hundreds of
patents that surround the software licensing and Digital Rights Management
space. Personally, I think it is very unlikely that you would be successful.
We're going to have to wait 10 or so years before those patents start
expiring.
	So, in summary, let's not go down the DRM path. It is a snake pit
from which no good will come. Also, please see my post about Creative
Commons at:
http://bobwyman.pubsub.com/main/2005/03/lazyweb_query_a.html

I was trying to interpret the spec link element and found it a little 
confusing.

If I try to look at the spec in a simple relational way (what is being 
related to what?)
then, given the following example xml,

   <entry>
     ...
	<link href="http://bblfish.net/blog/page5.html#42"
           type="text/html"
           hreflang="en"
           length="450"
           title="The html entry"
           rel="related/>
    </entry>

  I would initially draw a diagram such as this

_e1--is-a--> <Entry>
   |--link--> _link
                |--href--> <http://bblfish.net/blog/page5.html#42>
                |--type--> "text/html"
                |--lang--> "en"
                |-length-> 450
                |-title--> "The html entry"
                |--rel---> "related"


But that does not seem quite right. There seems first of all to be a 
confusion
about properties related to the link, and properties related to the 
thing the link
is linking to. For example the length, type and hreflang attributes are 
about the
resources pointed to by the link, whereas the rel and title attributes 
are relations
describing the link.

So a better interpretation of the initial xml would be the following

_e1--is-a-> <Entry>
  |--link-> _link
           |--to---->_r--is-a-> <Representation>
           |         |--href--> <http://bblfish.net/blog/page5.html#42>
           |         |--type--> "text/html"
           |         |--lang--> "en"
           |         |-length-> 450
           |-title--> "The html entry"
           |--rel---> "related"

  We know that the thing that link is linking _to_ is not a resource but 
a
representation because we have specified the mime type, length and 
language of
the thing linked to, and these are properties of representations, not
resources. A resource as we all know can have many representations, not
only over time, but at the same time.

So the above graph would seem to capture much better what we are trying 
to
relate to what. By doing this I think it becomes much easier to 
understand
what is happening with the link element, and so also to extend it 
properly.

But if this is a correct interpretation of what is happening then 
perhaps
this should also be clearer in the xml itself. Would the following 
perhaps not
be a little better then:

  <entry>
     ...
	<link title="The html Entry" rel="related">
		<representation
         	href="http://bblfish.net/blog/page5.html#42"
          	type="text/html"
             lang="en"
             length="450"/>
     </link>
  </entry>

It would at least then be possible to see how one can have a
certain type of link to multiple representations (perhaps different
language version of the entry for example)

  <entry>
     ...
	<link title="The html Entry" rel="related">
		<representation
         	href="http://bblfish.net/blog/page5.html#42"
          	type="text/html"
             lang="en"
             length="450"/>
		<representation
         	href="http://bblfish.net/blog/de/page5.html#42"
          	type="text/html"
             lang="de"
             length="664"/>
     </link>
  </entry>

It would at least seem to be differentiating better between the two
elements that are currently muddled in the link construct, and may even
open up some interesting possibilities.

Could we make this a SHOULD?  Whereas Graham is correct in the normal 
case, I have an alternate scenario at 'ongoing'.  Normally, the 
"updated" comes from the timestamp on the input version of the file; I 
don't have any externally-stored datestamps aside from knowing the day 
it was created.  However, when I don't want to show the thing as 
updated, I put a special <finished/> element in the input version and 
the software then emits a pubDate of 02:00 hours on the creation day.  
This works well enough, but if it were a MUST, I'd have to keep one 
more date value around for each piece, which seems to have a lousy 
return on investment. -Tim

Currently we have this

    "A Date construct is an element whose content MUST conform to the
    date-time BNF rule in [RFC3339].  I.e., the content of this element
    matches this regular expression:

    [0-9]{8}T[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2}(\.[0-9]+)
         ?(Z|[\+\-][0-9]{2}:[0-9]{2})

    As a result, the date values conform to the following 
specifications..."

The problem with the regex is that it's entirely redundant. If we look 
at Norm's message where the regex was suggested [1], he intends it as a 
profile of xsd:dateTime, which allows a variety of date formats. 
However we're using it as a profile of RFC3339, which already requires 
that date-times match the regex 100%. Having the regex there as well is 
just confusing - until preparing this email I was under the impression 
it made some additional restrictions on RFC3339.

The nearest thing I see to an additional restriction is that there must 
be a capital T between the date and time, which the date-time BNF rule 
we mention also requires, but the prose later mentions you might be 
allowed to use something different.

Proposal:
Replace the first para and regex with:

    A Date construct is an element whose content MUST conform to the
    date-time BNF rule in [RFC3339]. Note this requires an uppercase 
letter T
    between the date and time sections.

Secondly, *all* RFC3339 date-times are compatible with the 4 specs 
mentioned, so the wording of the second paragraph ("As a result...") is 
a bit strange, since it's not as a result of anything we've done. Just 
say "Date values expressed in this way are also compatible with...".

I agree that we should not slide down the DRM slippery slope.  But as 
you note, CC isn't about DRM. 

On a side note, since Atom feeds may already contain a <link 
rel="alternate" ..."> to an HTML page on a server owned by the copyright 
owner, it's already possible to follow the CC recommendations for 
embedding: http://creativecommons.org/technology/embedding

However, if we want to facilitate things like searching and 
categorization, here is an example of an 
obvious-to-the-practitioner-skilled-in-the-art indicator of a CC license 
for Atom:

<link rel="license" href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/" />

which of course also extends to whatever other license schemes someone 
might come up with, as long as they have URIs.

1. Why are these two statements in the same paragraph?

    The content of an atom:id element MUST be created in a way that
    assures uniqueness; it is suggested that the atom:id element be
    stored along with the associated resource.

Storage assures persistence but does nothing to improve uniqueness. I'd 
recommend that the second statement be moved to the end of the 
paragraph before, and the remaining statement be found a home 
elsewhere.

2. This would leave room to discuss uniqueness in more depth, which 
currently isn't discussed. Is it acceptable to have a feed and entry 
use the same identifier? Does it imply some relationship? Is it 
acceptable to use a domain name I don't control (this would obj=viously 
threaten uniqueness), etc etc. Probably too late to get consensus on 
changes here, though, so I won't suggest any.

3. Regarding dereferencing:

    Though the IRI might use a dereferencable scheme, Atom Processors 
MUST NOT assume it
    can be dereferenced.

This is nice, but I'd prefer it to also say something like "Atom 
Processors MUST NOT make any assumptions about the relationship between 
the feed or entry and the dereferenced object". This is currently 
implied by the absence of any discussion, so I don't think it's a 
functional change.

The current format of the date has a granularity of one second.

Are you requesting that dates SHOULD be *accurate* to the second by
whatever process is generating the Atom document?

If that is correct, how does adding this restriction  increase interop?

Legalese is complicated enough that it cannot be fully expressed in 
machine readable form unless the machine is AI-complete. CC has created 
an RDF vocabulary for describing their license elements. However, when 
you start describing eg. the GFDL with CC's vocabulary, you are on 
shaky ground, because the license details may not be exactly equivalent 
to the CC terms.

It seems to me that it is more straight-forward to identify a known 
license than to try to describe a license. Tantek Çelik has publicized 
and mozilla.org (among others) has adopted a 'license' rel value for 
HTML <link>. This approach avoids the issue of machine-readable 
licenses and software interpreting legalese, because a human programmer 
needs to supply the software with known license URIs. Obviously, this 
doesn't work nicely with obscure licenses but assumes that the license 
URIs are well-known. The solution is also less crufty than hiding RDF 
in discardable comments. (Hiding copyright metadata in discardable 
comments is a bad idea, because in some jurisdictions there may soon be 
legislation that makes it illegal to discard copyright metadata. The 
XML spec says software may discard comments.)

However, you cannot make everyone who provides useful feeds to describe 
their policy, so someone running a feed aggregation service still needs 
all lawyer who can convincingly argue against the permission culture.

            As John indicates, his encoding method is "obvious". However,
what is apparently *not* obvious to many people is that you can't "enforce"
a Creative Commons license if enforcement involves restricting access to or
use of data. Because this point is a bit subtle, we're likely to have all
sorts of people thinking that providing support for Creative Commons does,
in fact, give them the ability to restrict the use of their data.

+1 on dropping the regex. It isn't from any of the other specs,
it isn't specifically called out as explanatory and non-normative,
and it is too long to be clear.

Some examples would be nice, along with some examples of things
which do not conform.

If we look at Norm's message where the regex was suggested [1], he intends it as a profile of xsd:dateTime, which allows a variety of date formats. However we're using it as a profile of RFC3339, which already requires that date-times match the regex 100%. Having the regex there as well is just confusing - until preparing this email I was under the impression it made some additional restrictions on RFC3339.

+1

BTW, I think the anti-DRM clause of CC is really intended as an 
anti-anti-circumvention clause and should be rephrased as such. See

Precision and accuracy are very different things. Precise timestamps
have a lot of numbers. Accurate timestamps are a correct measurement
of a clock.

Does this mean that they must have an accuracy of one second? That is, that
the timestamp for the update or publish event must be correct within +/- 0.5s 
when compared to a trusted time standard?

Atom already requires the timestamp to be precise to one second, but it is not
practical to require (MUST) accuracy. We could do it, but we'd lock out the 99%
of machines with bad clocks.

Plus, some publications just don't have an accurate time -- archives digitized from
paper, like old New Yorker issues or MIT AI lab tech notes. One approach to those
is to choose a convention for the time portion, like noon UTC. That is 
most likely to be the same day in other time zones. We could mention that as
a useful convention.

The Atom spec should recommend that clocks be accurate. There is no point in
having sortable timestamps without trustworthy clocks. This is already a
SHOULD in the HTTP 1.1 spec, and you can grab that language from the 
caching Pace I put together. Or I can, if there is support for it.

First, I don't think that we currently require any precision, we just 
specify the syntax, which happens to allow to-the-second precision.  
Graham's point is that the spec should acknowledge that there is value 
in accuracy, which is well-taken.  I suggest language such as:

  The date SHOULD be as accurate as possible within the
  limitations of the software and environment.  For example, it would
  be generally inappropriate for a publishing system to apply the same
  timestamp for several entries which were published during the course
  of a single day.

On the other hand, this amounts to telling publishers "don't be 
egregiously stupid"... not obvious that you get an interoperability 
gain.  Except for Graham says he's seeing people doing just this. -Tim

Another interpretation of the original xml which would take into 
account the fact that
a link MUST have an href element would be:

_e1--is-a-> <Entry>
  |--link-> _link
           |--href--><http://bblfish.net/blog/page5.html#42>
           |         |--representation-->_r
           |                             |--type--> "text/html"
           |                             |--lang--> "en"
           |                             |-length-> 450
           |-title--> "The html entry"
           |--rel---> "related"


which is saying that a link relates an entry and a resource, and that 
sometimes
it is appropriate to give extra information about representations of 
that resource.

And so more it would perhaps be clearer for the xml to be stated like
this

<entry>
     ...
	<link title="The html Entry"
           rel="related"
           href="http://bblfish.net/blog/page5.html#42">
		<representation        	
          	type="text/html"
             lang="en"
             length="450"/>
     </link>
  </entry>

I am not saying that that is the answer, just that the it may help to 
make the
distinction clearer somehow between properties of the link and 
properties on the
object of the link.

Thanks everyone for all the pointers and thoughts on the subject. I can 
see now that
the issue is not so easy.

I suppose I find the link method described by John quite attractive 
concerning the
CC license.

That sentence is an oblique way of saying "don't use your 
auto-incrementing primary key or your title-based permalink to identify 
entries". Suggestions welcome.

I agree that it's too late. Those are hard questions.

No matter how much we might wish it to be so, we can't outlaw that sort 
of thing.

A very minor problem:

I tried to do a search through the document to find which elements
were language-sensitive, and I didn't find all of them because
sometimes "language-sensitive" is written with a hyphen, and sometimes
it isn't.

The link element contains many pieces. Here are some questions I had:

- the meaning of the "alternate" type could perhaps be explained a 
little better. As I understand this is there to fulfill one of the role 
of what used to be the permalink. It is meant to point to the html 
representation of the entry/feed. Currently "alternate" is
explained as

	The value "alternate" signifies that the IRI in the value of the href
     attribute identifies an alternate version of the resource described 
by
     the containing element.

   That does really not say very much. I think when one thinks about it 
carefully then it
   makes sense, but perhaps an example would help clarify that.

- The point of the "title" in the link is not quite clear. Why would 
one put a title
   on a link? What will the client do with this information? When should 
one put it?...

- I must have missed the arguments about "self". But the documentation 
does not really
  help me understand what I would want to use that link for. (Perhaps 
this is to point to
  a translated version of the resource for example?)

The above are all just small clarification issues.

+1

I think it makes a lot less sense for a feed than it does for an entry.

Is this the use case?  I've clicked on an Atom feed link and the data 
(but not the originating URI) have been passed to a handler of MIME type 
application/atom+xml.  I like what I see and want to subscribe to the 
feed... but there's no way to figure out what URI to subscribe to 
without the "self" link inside the data.

Thanks, that helps a lot. Perhaps what is missing are use cases.

Henry,

The solution I eventually implemented was to include an "id" attribute in
the link. Clients can infer that links with the same id are actually
different views of the same resource. I know this is cheezy but I
am on a tight deadline to prototype.

BTW, I'm not sure why this did not make the syntax list, I was
working from home and sometimes our system flakes.

I was trying to interpret the atom:link element [1]

If I try to look at the spec in a simple relational way (what is being 
related to what?)
then, given the following example atom xml extract,

   <entry>
     ...
	<link href="http://bblfish.net/blog/page5.html#42"
           type="text/html"
           hreflang="en"
           length="450"
           title="The html entry"
           rel="related/>
    </entry>

One may think of representing this with the following N3

[ a :Entry;
   :link [ :href <http://bblfish.net/blog/page5.html#42>;
           :type "text/html";
           :lang  "en";
           :length "450";
           :l_title  "The html entry"; # see note [2]
           :rel    :alternative
         ]
].


The problem to my mind is that the above interpretation of the xml is 
confusing
relations that apply to the link (:rel, :l_title) and relations that 
apply
to the object of the link (:type, :lang, :length).

Hence I prefer the following

@prefix arch: <http://sw.nokia.com/WebArch-1/>
@prefix owl: <http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#>

[ a :Entry;
   :link [ :href [ owl:sameAs <http://bblfish.net/blog/page5.html#42>;
                   arch:representation [
                   				   :type "text/html";  # note [3]
                                    :lang  "en";
                                    :length "450"
                                   ]
                 ]
           :l_title  "The html entry"; # see note [2]
           :rel    :alternative
         ]
].


That seems quite good.

Now the interesting thing is that from the above it would seem that one
should be able to deduce the following:

[ a :Entry;
   :alternative [ owl:sameAs <http://bblfish.net/blog/page5.html#42>;
                  arch:representation [
                   				   :type "text/html";  # note [3]
                                    :lang  "en";
                                    :length "450"
                                   ]
                 ]
].

Ie. the link object is not really an object, but as its name suggests
is really a relation. This would not be such a problem except for the 
fact
that we have now lost the title information that was placed on the link
object.

So perhaps what we have is that the link object is an anonymous 
rdfs:SubPropertyOf
the object of its :rel relation (in our example :alternative) which has 
a special
title attribute. That would allow us to make the above deduction I 
think.

So if variable relations were allowed  (they may be in N3, I am not 
sure),
one could write

[ a :Entry;
    _:link [ owl:sameAs <http://bblfish.net/blog/page5.html#42>;
             arch:representation [
                   				   :type "text/html";  # note [3]
                                    :lang  "en";
                                    :length "450"
                                  ]
          ]
].
_:link :rel :alternative;
        :l_title  "The html entry".

where :rel is itself a rdfs:SubPropertyOf rdfs:SubProperty.


This may make the atom link relation clearer to some :-)


Henry Story


[1] http://www.atompub.org/2005/03/12/draft-ietf-atompub-format-06.html
[2] the title attribute of the link is called l_title to avoid 
confusing it with the
  title element of the entry
[3] I am surprised the web arch ontology does not have the vocabulary 
for
    :type, :lang and :length that atom has.

Had a talk with Sam (back from vacation) & Paul this morning and here's 
where we got to:

1. We need to get format-07 in Scott Hollenbeck's hands ASAP for review 
so we can put it out for IETF review.  Based on offline conversation 
with the editors, we think we can do that this week with no problem.

2. We have two obstacles in the way of moving the protocol work 
forward. First, the current protocol-03 draft is a little too ragged to 
be a productive basis for proposing changes against.  Second, our 
selection of existing protocol-related Paces is really dusty and 
disordered, and Sam will be within his rights if he decides to just 
close some.  We need to solve the draft problem first.  We have Rob's 
private draft that addresses some of the problems, and I've seen a 
bunch of editorial-changes correspondence go to the editors.  So, the 
next step is to get a protocol-04 done; sooner is better.  The ball is 
in our editors' court on that.  Then we'll do a last (hopefully) call 
for changes/enhancements and see if we can finish this part of the job.

Storage helps with the former. Why are we implying it will help with 
the latter?

Hmm. Darn right. It's good advice, but it's not in the right place. Thanks.

k, let's start by admitting my true goal is to get application/rss+xml
into the registered IANA media types [1]. I'm thinking this could be
done by describing the <atom:link rel='self'> mechanism extension to
RSS in an IETF draft, along with the required media types registration
mumbo and passing it thru the Atom WG. Is this as simple (famous last
words) as rephrasing my USM specification [2] in IETF form and getting
Robert, Joe, mnot, Normal, Graham, Henry, Bob, Danny, Sam and Tim on
board?
Thanks and please CC me on responses,

P.S. Sorry that I've been away for awhile. Robert's protocol draft
brought me back.

Uh, I think we can register it as a side-effect of getting the format

IESG approval of an Internet-Draft with a media type registration would
register the type, yes. Whether we should try to register application/
rss+xml is a different question though.

Do-over. Can this be done thru the Atom WG and how? Could I use USM,
as an Atom extension to RSS as the vehicle?
Thanks,

Should that perhaps be "application/rss2+xml"?  There are lots of RSSes.

I tried; the official response [1] was that the IESG wanted to see an  
stable and available spec -- by their standards -- for RSS before  
putting it in the standards tree. Just doing a registration doesn't cut  
it.

I worked on an RSS 2.0 I-D [2] for a while and then stopped when I got  
nervous about change control and copyright issues. Given that RSS 2.0  
is now hosted at Harvard, it may be that the IESG will consider that a  
stable enough ref; if not, I'm not nearly as nervous now that it's  
under a CC license, and I think I could take a crack at the I-D  
again...

I'll do a bit of asking around...

I was going for a single media type for all of RSS, with (IIRC) an 
optional "version" parameter.

Generally, having a media type identify a particular version of a 
format is frowned upon; think about HTML, XML, etc. It's for 
coarse-grained identification of the format.

Of course, given that RSS has separate change controllers, it might be 
argued that it would be better to have different ones, but I'm not yet 
convinced; generally, you've got one app that can handle all of the 
formats; there's no meaningful difference between them.

If I did it again, I'd have encouraged Dave to register 
'application/vnd.scripting.rss+xml' or 'application/prs.winer.rss+xml'.

Oh, well.

"Share Alike. If you alter, transform, or build upon this work, you may 
distribute the resulting work only under a license identical to this one."

Are IETF drafts compatible with these terms?

Not really. It says "identical". If it were identical, there wouldn't be 
a question.

Seems like you'd have to talk to Harvard (the copyright holder). It 
would be good, of course.

Yeah, I know. I *think* I have a better chance by getting some sort of 
meaningful answer from CC first, and taking that to Harvard to confirm 
(or just tell them ;) -- such a query directed to Harvard itself mind 
wind its way through the halls aimlessly for quite some time, if indeed 
it ever made it out...

it's more an issue of whether the CC Attribution + ShareAlike 1.0 
license terms are satisified by the I-D boilerplate. I've just asked CC 
that very question...

I think that depends on what tools you are using for search. For 
example with BlogEd
I am using a Java interfaces to surf the triple base (that's a little 
what if feels
like :-) With the following code:

------------8<------------------------------------------------------
public interface AtomEntry  {
     String BASE = AtomEntryID.BASE;
     String LINK_BASE = "http://www.iana.org/assignments/relation/";
     String RDF_TYPE = BASE + "Entry";


     /**
      * An entry can have any number of contributors
      */
     String RDF_contributor = BASE + "contributor";
     AtomPerson addContributor(AtomPerson person);
     Collection<AtomPerson> getAllContributor();

     ...

    /**
      *  get all alternate representations of this entry
      */
     String RDF_alternate = LINK_BASE + "alternate";
     void addAlternate(URI link);
     Collection<URI> getAllAlternate();

     ...
}
------------8<------------------------------------------------------

It will be easier to get the alternate links as it will be just one
method call away. What my previous reasoning allows me to do is
to think of the <http://www.iana.org/assignments/relation/alternate>
relation in a way that would (if correct) make the above java correct.

I am happy with the part of the argument that allows me to think of
iana:alternate as a relation between an Entry and something. What I
am still not quite clear about is what that something really is. Is it
a URI (as expressed in the example code above), or is it a 
representation,
or is at representation-URI combination? What is the alternate thing we
are pointing to?

I am starting to think that there is no way of telling really since 
these
things are completely under-specified by atom. I think one will have to 
wait
for the usage that is made of these and work out from there what people
really mean by these terms.

As such the safest may be for an aggregator to work with the
first definition and use inferencing to reach the others when the 
situation
is clearer.

As I am currently writing an editor I can be a little more flexible and
use a more private interpretation of these things. (though perhaps I 
should
not use the iana:alternate uri.)

It might help if the people interested in this question would read the RFC
that describes the registration process:

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2048.txt

2048 will soon be obsoleted by two other documents:

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-freed-mime-p4-06.txt
(which is in the RFC Editor queue)

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-freed-media-type-reg-02.txt
(which is in last call)

Short synopsis:
- Community review on the ietf-types list is a "good idea".  I require it
for types in the standards tree.

- The details have to be documented in either an I-D or some other document
produced by a "standards body".  What defines a "standards body" is open to
interpretation by the IESG.

- The rules are less stringent for types in the non-standards trees.

I would just like to revisit this question, because it will help clarify
the "alternate" relation.

I would like to be a little more specific now. If I take the following
entry from the format 06 spec

   <entry>
   <title>Atom-Powered Robots Run Amok</title>
   <link href="http://example.org/2003/12/13/atom03"/>
   <id>urn:uuid:1225c695-cfb8-4ebb-aaaa-80da344efa6a</id>
   <updated>2003-12-13T18:30:02Z</updated>
   </entry>

Then we can say that the above Entry is a representation of the
<urn:uuid:1225c695-cfb8-4ebb-aaaa-80da344efa6a> resource.

Now my current reading of "alternate" is that this Entry representation
had an "alternate" representation at 
<http://example.org/2003/12/13/atom03>
at the time this entry representation was valid (2003-12-13T18:30:02Z)

Future representations of the 
<urn:uuid:1225c695-cfb8-4ebb-aaaa-80da344efa6a>
resource may not have an "alternate" representation at that URL.

In which case perhaps the language of the "alternate" relation is a 
little
misleading

[[
The value "alternate" signifies that the IRI in the value of the href 
attribute identifies an alternate version of the resource described by 
the containing element.
]]

I think the above is much stronger than what a lot of people will agree 
to.

If I am reading correctly "the resource described by the containing 
element"
would be the <urn:uuid:1225c695-cfb8-4ebb-aaaa-80da344efa6a> resource 
in the
example case.

So that our example xml would be saying that
<http://example.org/2003/12/13/atom03> is an alternate version of 
<urn:uuid:1225c695-cfb8-4ebb-aaaa-80da344efa6a>, which is a lot 
stronger than what we want to say, since
we want to allow for domains being hijacked, dying, etc..

I think is much more precise to say that this representation
of <urn:uuid:1225c695-cfb8-4ebb-aaaa-80da344efa6a> (the entry above) is 
an alternative representation of <http://example.org/2003/12/13/atom03> 
also.

Here we would be saying something that is true and helpful.

So perhaps the following would be better

[[
The value "alternate" signifies that the containing element is an 
alternative
representation of the IRI in the value of the href attribute.
]]

But of course web browsers can handle GIF, JPEG, HTML,...  Is the fact 
that RSS readers can handle both 1.X and 2.X feeds a result of lack of 
meaningful difference, or a result of user requirements to support both 
formats in one app?  Not all RSS processors support both.  Certainly 
the fact that there are major similarities makes it much easier to 
support both.

If we do go for a separate subtype for each, it might be good to do 
something to ensure that they're unambiguous.  For example, 
"application/rss+xml" wouldn't do much to help a person recognize that 
it applied to one and not the other.  "application/rss2+xml" makes that 
clear, but would become confusing if a hypothetical RSS 3.0 were 
released based on 2.X and a new MIME type were not registered for the 
new version.

...of course, contemplating using the same type for 2.X on 3.X might be 
an argument for using the same one for 1.X and 2.X.  How similar would 
2.X and 3.X need to be to justify using the same MIME type?  This isn't 
a question I've pondered or heard discussion of enough to comment 
further.

It's not in our charter, and it is not useful to our chartered work. 
The current registration in our WG document serves our purposes. You 
can certainly pursue this as an individual, as others have suggested.

Well, if someone wanted to strive for descriptiveness, they should

I suggest we register a new top-level:

ultraliberal/...

where the subtype can be anything MarkP's parser groks.

Huge +1 to this:

   ultraliberal/+pimpmyfeed
   ultraliberal/+worksforme
   ultraliberal/+diveintoaggregatorshite
   ultraliberal/+halfassedwebdav

Perhaps we could get this through the IETF mincer by April 1st?

(...so... why are we having this thread again... ?)

Just put this forward as a Pace, but have not put it up on the site, as 
there
is less traffic here now.

Abstract:
---------

Weakens the link relation just a wee bit.

Status:
-------
  Open

Rationale
---------

See e-mail below

Proposal
--------

[[
The value "alternate" signifies that the IRI in the value of the href 
attribute identifies an alternate version of the resource described by 
the containing element.
]]

with:

[[
The value "alternate" signifies that the containing element is an 
alternative
representation of the IRI in the value of the href attribute.
]]

yes correct. Thanks for pointing this out.

Proposal
--------
replace

[[
The value "alternate" signifies that the IRI in the value of the href 
attribute identifies an alternate version of the resource described by 
the containing element.
]]

with:

[[
The value "alternate" signifies that the containing element is an 
alternative

the href attribute.

You do realise you've reversed the directionality of the relationship here,
right? 

IMHO, best not to introduce this ambiguity (directionality) into the spec.

Proposal:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The value "alternate" signifies that the resource identified by the IRI in
the value of the href is an alternative representation of the resource
described by the containing element.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

(yes, I know that "alternate" is a commutative bi-di relationship)
