Atom Threading Extension FeedFlare

As I was saying in the other article, I implemented a simple dynamic FeedFlare to show the number of comments in your feed, based on the Atom Threading Extensions. The flare provides a link to $yourPageUrl#comments, it could be made more modular if someone needs that.

Basically this means that you need a <link> in your atom feed with rel="replies" and thr:count="123". The flare is not really smart in that it does not take the xmlns declaration into account (yet) so declare it like xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0".

Experimentally, the flare is available for your own use by using the address:

http://flarez.riffraff.inf/ate/

Just add it through myfeeds->optimize->feedlare. Depending on load the flare may be cached for some hours so don't worry if you don't see updates immediately.
