Atom Proposal: Simple resource posting

On the Atom front, I've just added a proposal to the Wiki: PaceSimpleResourcePosting. The abstract is:

This proposal extends the AtomAPI to allow for a new creation URI, ResourcePostURI, to be used for simple, efficient uploading of resources referenced by a separate Atom entry. It also extends the Atom format to allow a "src" attribute of the content element to point to an external URI as an alternative to providing the content inline.

This proposal is an alternative to PaceObjectModule, PaceDontSyndicate, and PaceResource. It is almost a subset of and is compatible with PaceNonEntryResources, but differs in that it presents a very focused approach to the specific problem of efficiently uploading the parts of a compound document to form a new Atom entry. This proposal does not conflict with WebDAV but does not require that a server support WeDAV.
