That is entry metadata -- it should be in the entry.

That is blog configuration info, which cannot be in entry postings
because it splits access control. Atom should operate on resources
like a sensible implementation of HTTP, which means the resource for
accepting new entries cannot be the same as the resource for editing
blog configuration.
