PUBLIC MARKS from holyver with tags atompub & syndication

Its a rare day that a truly good standard comes along. Its an even rarer day that the standard get widely adopted.

In case you are not familiar with Atom, the syndication format provides a standard format for saving blog content in XML and the publishing protocol provides a standard API for clients to read, create or update Atom documents stored on servers.
