Re: atom dates showing specified Pub Time

Yes, sometimes it's better to insert blog articles concerning off-topic 
items with old dates to help Googlers while keeping the subject material 
on the blog's front page the same.  If we can make it so the Atom feed 
doesn't give the appearance that anything has recently changed when 
someone adds a blog article with a date 6 months ago that would be good 
IMO.  Since Roller already allows pre-dating of new blog articles, the 
Atom and RSS feeds should be consistent with that if possible.
