Atom revision tracking extension

[Alistair Miles <[e-mail]>]

Hi all,

This is just a short note to say that we've done an implementation of James
Snell's 2006 I-D on a revision tracking extension [1], see the documentation
at [2].

Generally speaking, we've found this to be a very useful feature in several
applications, and would be interested in revisiting James' original I-D if
anyone else was.

I think the draft would need updating to deal with a couple of relatively
minor issues we've worked around, and the fact that the new tombstones draft
[3] overlaps (see [4]). But for the most part, it works well as-is, for us
at least.

I had a trawl through the archive to see what else had been discussed,
and could only find threads from [5] and [6]. If I've missed anything,
please let me know.

Thanks,

Alistair
