Of course AtomPub isn't the answer re. fine-grained data access.

You need what's outlined above which is basically the fundamental 
architecture of the Web (AWWW) itself.

The architecture of the Web is dexterous enough to handle all of the 
fine-grained data access needs that these conversations are hovering about.

BTW -- my products implemented AtomPub before the ink dried on the 
initial specs. We still support it today and part of many protocols we 
support. None of our protocol handling heuristics would work modulo AWWW 
dexterity.

Decouple the letters R-D-F from Linked Data and all the real power of 
AWWW is there to be exploited in ways only limited by our imagination.
