Do you ever run into a problem that just halts everything? It shouldn't everything, but it does?

For instance, I was working on syndicating commenting data over XML... and then I ran into problems. Do I syndicate e-mail addresses? Tabulas inherently protects all e-mail addresses.. but the moment I syndicate all e-mail addresses, that value is gone.

So what do I do? Argh!!!!!

I haven't been able to do any work until I get this figured out. Do you think the privacy of the e-mails trumps the ability to freely syndicate data?

Do not syndicate the email addresses! Privacy is more important than freely syndicated data.

Syndicate the data, and password protect the XML sheet.

No, you're missing the point. It's not about that. If someone comments in my journal, does that give ME the right to freely publish their e-mail ... or does that give me the right to even have access to their e-mail, especially if Tabulas purports to protect your e-mail?

Sorry I'm so late on chiming in. Are you able to syndicate the comment without the e-mail address? I think that hiding the e-mail address in Tabulas is a very good thing, and therefore the e-mail address should not be made a part of the feed. I would, however, like to have comments included with the feed IF it doesn't expose addresses.
