    Hi Jacob,
    
    I  have not but am glad you have reached out about this.  I believe this is
    an appropriate topic to ask of the EM-TC, and I ask that Lee T. also comment
    whether he has come across Atom in his dealings with other standards
    implementers.
    
    Thanks,

    A little follow-up from our guys...
    
    Several of our EDXL standards are tailored for the DE and ATOM does not
    offer all of the needed elements to support this.  So ATOM used in place of
    DE may be contra indicated by the IETF Standard (IETF proposed standard in
    RFC 4287).  It can be used as an extension; but with deprecated functionally
    and could not be robust as using the DE.  Most of the tools for ATOM seem to
    be tailored for XML to RSS delivery.  Could see a scenario where ATOM is a
    ContentObject in the DE to facilitate RSS and the use of those tools
    though....

    To add to the mix.
    
    Actually, Atom/Atom Pub can be used in very interesting applications.
