[uf-discuss] Rationale for providing hAtom instead of Atom/RSS feeds

[David Janes]

hAtom is microformat for adding semantic information to HTML
microcontent, identifying information such as the content, summary,
author, title and so forth.

It is not and never has been intended to replace Atom or RSS feeds.

Regards, etc...
