[sword-app-tech] Difference between the Atom RFC and an example in the SWORD2 spec

[Mark J. <mj...@sf...>]

Hi, 

I have a question about the Atom entry used to create a resource under SWORD 2. 

http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4287.txt, section 4.1.2 indicates that atom:entry elements must contain either one atom:content child element or "at least one atom:link element with a rel attribute value of 'alternate'." However, the example Atom entry provided at http://swordapp.github.io/SWORDv2-Profile/SWORDProfile.html#protocoloperations_creatingresource_entry contains neither. Does SWORD2 relax this requirement of Atom or is the example incomplete? 

Thanks, 

Mark
