<link type="what?"....

[Jon Paul Davies]

Any idea on how auto-discovery can take place? I presume it's by link
tags? OPML is

<link rel="alternate" type="text/x-opml" title="Subscriptions"
href="http://your-opml-feed-address" >

What type="" is prefered? text/x-activitystrea.ms ?

[David Cramer]

text/x-activitystrea.ms isn't something I'd want to use.

Maybe something like text/xml+activitystream

Since AtomActivity is a superset of Atom, the following is expected to
be the common case:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" href="..." />

This assumes, of course, that the page in question contains an HTML
representation of the activity stream.

I've also been idly considering rel="activities" (with
type="application/atom+xml" again) for situations where the activity
stream is *not* an alternate for the current page, though I've not
really spent much time exploring the use-cases for that.

Ah, on the basis of the recent conversation on discovery, I'm reviving this thread and point to this page on the wiki to document ideas/proposals:

Since I cannot comment on the page itself I'll do it here :)

1. <link rel="activitystream" type="application/atom+xml"
href="http://www.example.com/xml/index.atom" />

This is straightforward but rather worthless too since you can't
decide what's the context is.

2. <link rel="alternate activitystream" type="application/atom+xml"
href="http://www.example.com/xml/index.atom" />

I doubt this is actually valid since rel attribute can't have a space
in their value (well if the link element comes from the Atom
namespace, the HTML4 allows it).

3. <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml"
href="http://www.example.com/xml/index.atom" class="activitystream" />

The class attribute should be namespaced here. This isn't a good idea
IMO nonetheless since you can't have more than one rel="alternate" per
entry with a given couple of type and hreflang (again if link comes
from the Atom namespace).

I would venture for this instead:

<link rel="activitystream" type="application/atom+xml"
href="http://www.example.com/xml/index.atom">
<activity:object-type>http://activitystrea.ms/schema/1.0/photo</activity:object-type>
</link>

Ah, no no. I'm only concerned with autodiscovery in HTML documents currently...!

Fair enough then :)
