For people using clients other than yarnd, does that appear as a valid mention? It's valid according to the spec but I've never seen it in use anywhere.

> Mentions are embedded within the text in either @<source.nick source.url> or @<source.url> format and should be expanded by the client, when rendering the tweets.

@mckinley Without a nick, we'd (yarnd) would have to go fetch the feed, parse it, cache it and then render it properly. This kind of "form" I _think_ should be illegal IMO.

@tkanos, do you have a dump of all the twtxt feeds from doing we-are-feeds? If so, could you please upload it somewhere or send me a magnet link? I want to grep it for this crazy mention syntax.

@mckinley Too bad I can't think of a way to do this via the search engine 🤔

@mckinley If that was my URL, it would show up as “someone mentioned me”, yes. (It isn’t mine, though, so there’s not a lot that my client does to it.)

@movq is right, it's still valid but it is hard to render as anything beyond a URL? 🤔

@mckinley My client parses the mention and just shows the URL. Since I don't follow that feed, it is rendered white on red just like any other feed I don't follow. My markdown support is very limited, inline code is unknown to tt, so the mentions put in code blocks are just treated as regular mentions. And then you can see, that you mentioned me incorrectly. :-P

@mckinley Cool! 👌 So... Let's nuke it? 🤔 Are you thinking of writing a new spec?
