In my earlier post about appfs I noted that WordPress wasn’t up to snuff as far as supporting Atompub. Offline, Tim Bray, Elias Torres, and I had a brief discussion. It seems that many of the bugs that I’ve fixed, and many more besides, have already been fixed by Elias. The patch submitted to WordPress is here: http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/4191. Alas, while this patch is tagged for inclusion in 2.3, there doesn’t seem to be much activity around it.
I had indicated that I will fix WordPress Atompub bugs as I find them, and keep a working version over here. But given everything Elias has already done (and the WordPress team has not), I’m no longer sure that’s a good idea. It looks like us WordPress users are simply out in the cold for a while when it comes to proper Atompub support.
I will continue to maintain and enhance appfs, but I think I’ll start testing against Abdera.

Let’s not forget that Atompub was only finished recently. As monumental as Atompub is, let’s at least wait for a major release after the spec. has been finalized before we get too critical.
