[wp-hackers] Atom 1.0

[Pete Prodoehl]

Mathias,

View the source of these two feeds:

   http://tinkernet.org/feed/atom/

   http://tinkernet.org/mathibus-atom.php

You'll see the first one uses 'link rel' code for any post with an 
enclosure like so:

   <link rel='enclosure'
    type='video/quicktime'
    title='Video'
    href='http://example.com/video.mov'
    length='2316226' />

I accomplished this through some semi-ugly hacking that is nothing to be 
proud of. I mean, it works, but I'd really like to see someone who knows 
PHP and WordPress better than me do it right, and add it into the 
wp-atom code. Care to take on that task? ;)

(I'll be glad to provide the code I have, as long as you promise to 
re-write it and make it respectable!)

Pete
