258 <div class="iffy-element-desc">
259 <p>This element, usually empty, is intended to mark channels or items that are in some sense "synthetic", rather than, um, hand-made?</p>
260 <p><strong>When a subelement of <code>channel</code></strong></p>
261 <p>If all the items in this feed are automatically rather than human generated, however you want to defined that, <code>iffy:synthetic</code> can mark an entire channel as synthetic, bot-produced.</p>
262 <p>Applications that include <code>iffy:synthetic</code> as a subject of channel SHOULD NOT also mark individual <code>item</code>s as <code>iffy:synthetic</code>, unless there is some meaningful sense in which some items are <em>more</em> synthetic than others. It serves no purpose to mark every item of a feed <code>iffy:synthetic</code> when the channel is already so marked.</p>
263 <p><strong>When a subelement of <code>item</code></strong></p>
264 <p>Marks items as "synthetic", that is <em>more</em> synthetic than other, unmarked items in the feed.</p>
265 <p>Exactly what that means is not defined, but it should be <em>relative to the other items in the feed</em>. If every item in a feed is automatically generated — suppose a weather feed, announcing conditions on the hour — then those items should NOT be marked <code>iffy:synthetic</code>, because they are the usual for the feed. The <code>channel</code> as a whole might be marked <code>iffy:synthetic</code>.</p>
266 <p>When <code>iffy:synthetic</code> is a subelement of <code>item</code>, it is intended to <em>distinguish</em> more automatic from less automatically produced items. It serves no purpose if it is used to mark all items.</p>
