   @Oblomov -- I'm having trouble parsing the question. Can you provide an example of the XML you plan to use.

   Considering a feed generated on Mastodon or PixelFed (both Fediverse platforms). How would the source:account specify the service and account?

   Possibilities:

   <source:account service="mastodon">@username@mastodon.example.com</source:account>
   <source:account service="pixelfed">@username@pixelfed.example.com</source:account>
   

   or

   <source:account service="mastodon.example.com">username</source:account>
   <source:account service="pixelfed.example.com">username</source:account>
   

   or

   <source:account service="fediverse">@username@mastodon.example.com</source:account>
   <source:account service="fediverse">@username@pixelfed.example.com</source:account>

   All those look fine to me. Remember I am a total newbie on Mastodon and I cannot tell you what to do here.

   Are you the software developer who has to make this decision or is that someone else?

   I don't have immediate plans to work on implementing this, it was more of something that jumped to my attention while I was reading the spec.
