So similarly you should have no problem accepting that the title in an Entry that is the head of a feed is the title of the feed.
It's the "an Entry that is the head of a feed" that will never get acceptance. I don't understand your obsession with this. If you wanted to create an Atom Record structure, one that is a head and the rest are called entries, that might make sense and would equally achieve your goals, wouldn't it?
Perhaps we may well be agreeing. Always difficult to tell :-)
I am saying there is an Entry record structure. A feed is a pair
feed(Entry head, List<Entry> entries)
or
Feed1
|------head-------> Feed1sHead ----a---->Entry
|------entry------> Feed1Entry1 ---a---->Entry
|------entry------> Feed1Entry2 ---a---->Entry
|------entry------> Feed1Entry3 ---a---->Entryie: we have one record structure of type Entry.
A Feed has one such record structure in the head relation to it.
And it has a list (or sequence, or whatever collection takes your fancy) which form
the entries of the feed.
Are we agreeing?
