PaceRemoveListTemplate


Abstract

Remove the list-template element and use URIs.

Author

Robert "Camera Ready Copy" Sayre

Rationale

The list-template element is a bad way to sync up with the server. What you want is a token that indicates the last time you saw the feed. Then, the server can tell you what's new. app:list-template can be useful in some cases, but it is invention and not appropriate for standardization in the core. Plus, it introduces the preposterous notion that the URI of a feed does not return an Atom feed when you send it a GET. If you have some other document, use a different URI for it. Furthermore, no one in the real world uses different URIs for the "feeduri" and the "posturi" of draft-gregorio-09.
