Implied h-feed #47

Open dshanske opened 5 years ago

dshanske commented 5 years ago

Raising the question of whether parsers should, if there are multiple h-* elements on a page that do not have a u-url that matches the retrieved page, return an h-feed, even though one is not expressly declared.

There is a suggestion about how to parse this above, but should some variant of it end up in the specification?

There’s no precedent for implying entire mf2 objects (only properties, and those only under very specific conditions to avoid false positives) so I’m strongly against implied h-feed. Implying a feed from a list of h-entries is a job for consuming code, not the parsing spec itself.
