Abstract
Allow other identification techniques than simply name
Status
Open
Rationale
While weblog entries typically have a known author, wiki pages, usenet posts, and comments may not. This proposal adds support for the host element from the ModWiki module.
Proposal
Add a section 3.2.4:
-
3.2.4 "atom:host" Element
The "atom:host" element's content conveys an IP address associated with the Person construct. Person constructs MAY contain an atom:ipaddr element, but MUST NOT contain more than one. Its content MUST be a domain name [RFC1035] or a dotted-decimal IPv4 address or a colon-delimited IPv6 address.
Impacts
None
Notes
In prior versions of the specs, at least one child element was required. This requirement disappeared, but I am not certain why. Does it make sense to have a person element with no children? - SamRuby
