Mine is a closer mapping of what you'd expect from Atom maybe. <br/><br/>I was going to try adding class="feed" to each of the feed links, but Technorati appear to have updated their import script so that mine works now. Nice! That’s interesting Les. Mine is a closer mapping of what you’d expect from Atom maybe.

I was going to try adding class=”feed” to each of the feed links, but Technorati appear to have updated their import script so that mine works now. Nice!

In fact, yours would seem to be the better constructed XOXO, with more semantic cues. For what it’s worth, Technorati Favorites seemed to enjoy my XOXO output.

Kevin, whilst Technorati Favourites should import my XOXO, I have no idea how exactly I’m supposed to specify it. It certainly fails to import the file I link to in my main post.

Such an element is metadata about the entry in the feed but not necessarily about the alternate representation it points to.

Another option is XBEL – see, f.ex., the PlanetAtom subscription list. Uche Ogbuji wrote a bunch of entries on that; we discussed the option of using Atom as well, but rejected it because of atom:updated and the lack of a way to represent a hierarchical folder structure directly in the markup.

One thing XBEL has in common with the other options you explored is that it already has some implementations – a number of browsers –, but support is far from ubiquitous.
