At present we don't have a way to provide an excerpt of what was
changed (it's very difficult to automatically detect and summarize
what changed).  We do (or can) provide the change summary in the feed, 
however.

The author of the change is normally provided the <dc:contributor>
element, but Bloglines might not be using that for authorship.
We can add another element for authorship if needed.  (I'm not
all that fmiliar with the various feed readers so I'm kinda winging
it as we go. :-)
