A representation of the same entry, yes. The entry contained in the feed
and post response may not be a complete representation of the resource,
whereas the entry returned by a GET on the Location URI will be.

Ultimately, returning the entry with the POST response is really just a
shortcut, eliminating the need to do the extra GET just to retrieve the
atom:id of the created entry.
