Abstract
Allow multiple authors.
Status
Open
Rationale
The current draft only allows one atom:author per entry, meaning either: - All authors of a document have to be shoehorned into that atom:author element - One author has to be chosen as primary and the rest are "contributors"
Notes
Neither bylines nor inheritance are dealt with by this Pace.
Proposal
In 4.1.1, replace:
-
o atom:feed elements MUST contain exactly one atom:author element,
-
UNLESS all of the atom:feed element's child atom:entry elements
contain an atom:author element.
with:
-
o atom:feed elements MUST contain one or more atom:author elements,
-
UNLESS all of the atom:feed element's child atom:entry elements
contain at least one atom:author element.
Remove:
-
o atom:feed elements MUST NOT contain more than one atom:author
-
element.
In 4.1.2, replace:
-
o atom:entry elements MUST contain exactly one atom:author element,
-
unless the atom:entry contains an atom:source element which
contains an atom:author element, or, in an Atom Feed Document, the atom:feed element contains an atom:author element itself.
With:
-
o atom:entry elements MUST contain one or more atom:author elements,
-
unless the atom:entry contains an atom:source element which
contains an atom:author element, or, in an Atom Feed Document, the atom:feed element contains an atom:author element itself.
Remove:
-
o atom:entry elements MUST NOT contain more than one atom:author
-
element.
