You can drive a nail with your fist if you want, that doesn't make your
fist a hammer.
A Collection Resource is still a Collection Resource, even if you
subscribe to the Atom Feed Document used to list its membership.
You seem confused about resources and their representations. A feed is a
resource (something that people will probably subscribe to, and which
might have RSS or Atom Feed Document representations; a blog homepage is
also a feed resource, represented using (X)HTML). An Atom Feed Document
is just a representation; this doesn't mean it always represents a feed
resource (best example is collection membership listing).
