necho 0.1
I've taken a 2003/07/01 snapshot of the maximal example of the format previously known as echo. The reason for this exercise is that I plan to start prototyping using this as a baseline. I invite others to do likewise. Let me know via comments of any implementations. In particular, I am interested in templates that others can use.
Obligatory disclaimers: everything is subject to change. Here are my assumptions at this point, also subject to change:
Feed elements
- title: required, plaintext
- subtitle: required, plaintext
- link: required, URI
- modified: optional, dateTime, UTC preferred
- entry, zeroOrMore
Entry elements
- title: required, plaintext. May be zero length
- subtitle: optional, plaintext
- summary: optional, plaintext
- author: required
- contributor: zeroOrMore
- link: required, URI
- id: required, URI
- created: optional, dateTime, UTC preferred
- issued: required, dateTime, local timezone preferred
- modified: required, dateTime, UTC preferred
Feel free to challenge these assumptions... they are not cast in stone.
