LinkElementDiscussion


[AsbjornUlsberg] Is it decided wether <link> should have element- or attribute-value? I would like the <link> element to be like this:

<link ref="http://example.com/blog">Example blog</link>

[MartinAtkins] That looks interesting, but I think in many cases the link title will be redundant. For example, in an entry the link to the entry will most probably just duplicate the entry title. I generally like to put URIs in attributes as a matter of style (they are "internal" stuff that should not be displayed in the UI directly) but Atom has standardized on everything being an element, with modifiers as attributes, so for consistency with everything else the URI has to be in the element content, really.

[discussion about overall style moved to ElementsVsAttributes 17:13Z]
