It's so easy to explain and understand: if there's an <author> in the <head>, then that applies to all the <entry>s which don't have their own <author>.
Authorship isn't that simple. The <author> in the <head> always applies to all the entries. The best we can do is say the stuff in <head> applies to the feed and the stuff in <entry> applies to the entry. IMHO, getting more specific means defining authorship and copyright.

A ''collective work'' is a work, such as a periodical issue, anthology, or encyclopedia, in which a number of contributions, constituting separate and independent works in themselves, are assembled into a collective whole.
A ''compilation'' is a work formed by the collection and assembling of preexisting materials or of data that are selected, coordinated, or arranged in such a way that the resulting work as a whole constitutes an original work of authorship. The term ''compilation'' includes collective works.
