Twice. Once in feed and once in entry. There are a lot of "Constructs" defined for precisely this reason, i.e. two usages. If a lot of people agree with Graham that this is awkward, I'm sure our editors would be happy to address it. You could replicate it or, for the occurrence in atom:head you could say 'For details, see the description in "atom:entry"'. I think the latter would be an improvement, but I don't think it's a big deal.
Introducing new terminology that everyone has to look up elsewhere in the document should be a last resort. If it's because we're defining head and entry separately then maybe we should notice they're 90% the same and do something about it.
