I think we should remove all mentions of inheritance from the spec. The two most damaging areas are atom:author and atom:copyright. When those elements appear in atom:head, the entries don't "inherit" their values. All you can reasonably say about the entry is that it appeared in a feed with those elements.
Uh, why? The notion of specifying the author once in the header seems sensible and straightforward, particularly in a one-author shop like mine. -Tim
