IMO, it matters not that no spec prescribes the use of this media type for Atom 0.3 feeds. What matters is whether it's in use today, which we seem to agree is the case. This seems an important piece of information that implementors should know, which is my motivation for asking that it be called out in the "interoperability considerations" section of the template. Something like;
Interoperability considerations: Some existing agents and feeds that support the Atom 0.3 specification, make use of this media type despite Atom 0.3 not being compatible with Atom 1.0.
In the spirit of that point about 0.3 being served with the media type being an interop issue - what are the behaviors which will lead to interoperation? The above text is only leads one to ask "and I should do what here?" and doesn't say anything useful about what to do. cheers Bill
