Abstract

Consider the order of <collection> elements in the workspace to be significant. The first element SHOULD refer to the preferred|default|primary collection

Status

Merged with PaceReworkIntrospection

Rationale

Provides a simple solution for indicating the preferred|default|primary collection within a <workspace> without conflating default collections with nested collections (which serve two completely different purposes).

It works for autodiscovery

Proposal

Add the following sentence to the draft -06 section 7.3.2
"The order of 'app:collection' elements is significant. The first element SHOULD refer to the preferred or primary collection."

Example

In the following example, "Entries" would be considered the "preferred" or "primary" collection

  <service>
    <workspace title="My Blog">
      <collection title="Entries" ... >
      <collection title="Photos" ... >
    </workspace>
  </service>

Impacts

Introspection
