If I'm not mistaken, you are the developer, not the set of end users. In which case your personal preferences are not relevant. If you can provide a choice of two feeds, one using RSS and one using ATOM, then why can't you also offer a summary feed and a full content feed? > > In the real world, web site developers also do something called > > "usability testing" which catches all these issues before the site > > ever goes live.

There is a grand old IETF tradition of asking for volunteers and then randomly picking from that set. I see no reason why a web developer who wants to put something useful on their resume, would not ask for volunteers from the audience of this site, and then run a usability test with them. --Michael Dillon P.S.
