Employee tag in author element, in XML feed entries
Hey GS,
In the topic XML feed, the author element of each entry doesn't tell whether the author is an employee or not. The way to figure it out seems to be to request another document, from which one can figure out if someone's an employee. (Or know your employees cnames, and match against those.)
Nevertheless, I think it's a good idea to throw an employee tag in the author element when someone is an employee, perhaps with a value to indicate their level (admin, official rep, employee).

Inappropriate?Good point. I think our assumption is that you'd want to show other information about the user (avatar, profile to ink) and would have to request that array anyway. We'll consider this as we update the API.
