The logic (or lack thereof) behind xhtml:body
Fri Apr 25 2003
When Sam started a small revolution last month by using <xhtml:body> in his rss-feed, <snip/>
On top of that, it seems like every rss feed that uses xhtml:body, uses tags like <body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> for every item ,
<snip/>
So am I missing something, or would an RSS feed be considered valid xhtml if using the <body> element in its items collection? As I'm typing this I'm thinking no - no <html> element, yadda yadda...
Okay, then - some more research is in order then. Two items - a filter for xhtml, and a way for extensible comments to bake in to the infiniblog. I've been looking thru some other's ideas on a CommentAPI, but I'm not sure how I should implement it - if what I'm thinking is true, an aspx page which uses a server-side form won't accept a POST from an outside script. I could use a webservice, but what about an .ashx?
The xhtml filter will require a bit more insight as to how HttpHandlers/HttpModules are handled in the runtime. We are implementing the rss feed thru an HttpHandler that accepts requests for .rss files. (We, well - Chris Hollander and my hi-jacking of his code:) So I need to find out if the HttpModules are still called when a Handler is implemented. Haven't really checked out the TraceLog yet.
Okay, enough blabbing - time to find out. cya!
