Having problems with message search?
Is there a document that explains how Blogger uses Atom?
I'm seeing a fair amount of variety in how entry-level content is expressed.
Some feeds have summary's, others have content.
Some content is embedded in a div, others without the div.
All from one piece of software!
If we're all going to have to parse Atom, as it seems we will, wouldn't it make sense to try to get it to be one format, not multiple formats?
With apologies in advance if there's something I'm missing that's obvious, as so often is the case.
Also, I'm making some judgement calls, for example, about which date is the pub date. Are there any guidelines? Should the creation date be considered the pub date? Or the modification date? Is there the concept of a publication date? If not, why not?
Is there any place for feedback? It would be great if link weren't so overloaded, for example.
Seems that Atom should be easier to handle than RSS, not harder; after all we have seven years of experience to guide us.
Is there a list of design goals for Atom somewhere? Is kindness to aggregator developers on the list? If not, it should be.
