At the current time, the Ape always re-fetches the collection feed
because at the moment, that's the only place you can be *sure* of
finding an atom:entry representation of any given entry.

I realize that this message is a bit old, but you aren't using
the entry from the feed for editing purposes, are you?

Yes, I pull the ID and the edit-URI out and blast a modified version of the original I posted, with the right ID, via PUT. I suppose I'm violating a SHOULD in that I'm not preserving server-generated foreign markup, but for the purposes of the Ape it seems to work fine. I suppose it would be an improvement if I fetched the entry before updating it, although I'd be surprised if the difference was material to the Ape. -Tim
