RFC4287: The Atom Syndication Format

RFC 4287, the Atom Syndication Format, is now available in old-school IETF plain text format.  So, no excuses for not supporting Atom 1.0 -- the standard is not only done, it's got an IETF number and everything.

Some fun RFC numerology:  4287 is a single-transposition permutation of my office phone extension.  It's also the star catalog number for Alkes Crateris, the primary star in the constellation Crater (The Cup).  Clearly Atom is the Grail. Or maybe my phone is.
