An ATOM feed starts with the [atom:]feed element.

The [atom:]title and [atom:]updated element are required.

Elements can appear in any order except:

• Elements of the same type must be grouped in one sequence.

• The [atom:]entry elements must occur last.

An example:

<feed xmlns="http://purl.org/atom/ns#draft-ietf-atompub-format-07">

     <title>Example Feed</title>
