Atom Publishing Protocol, latest spec draft APP-12, will be proposed for last call, apparently. There's another little speclet draft from atompub to review too: The application/atom+xml Type Parameter. Basically (via James) :

Identifying Atom Entry Documents:

application/atom+xml;type=entry

Identifying Atom Feed Documents:



application/atom+xml

or

application/atom+xml;type=feed

Interesting that they've run into a problem that's been around RDF forever. I haven't a clue whether this is useful for semantic doc typing generally, but in this specific case it's made a lot easier thanks to the format spec - the target MUST have a root XML element of atom:entry/atom:feed respectively.

Looking into OpenID has been on my todo list for a good while now. It sounded like something I should be using, but skimming the docs just got me confused. But now there's a helpful user-oriented screencast from Emre Sokullu and an excellent little practical/publisher's intro from Sam Ruby: OpenID for non-SuperUsers. Murky buckets.
