That said, what is the value of reusing atom:entry in this case?

Why is this...

<entry>
  <id>tag:example.org,2007:/the/only/useful/thing/here</id>
  <updated>2007-12-12T12:12:12Z</updated>
  <title>useless</title>
  <author><name>useless</name></author>
  <summary>useless</summary>
</entry>

Better than this:

<x:deleted>
  <id>tag:example.org,2007:/the/only/useful/thing/here</id>
  <updated>2007-12-12T12:12:12Z</updated>
</x:deleted>

Or even just this:

<x:deleted>
  <id>tag:example.org,2007:/the/only/useful/thing/here</id>
</x:deleted>

Two things:

1: what you deleted was an entry.

2: you might want to know the properties of the entry that was deleted, not just its name.
