Picked what up?  The rfc-editor is not involved in the publishing of
I-D's.  If this I-D is published as a Standards Track RFC, it would
specifically indicate that it is an update to RFC 4287 and would qualify
as a "forward-compatible revision of Atom".  I believe that it's up to
the Area Director to determine whether or not to allow individual
submissions such as this to proceed along that route or whether a WG is
required.

There's no need to specify a deletion mechanism.  A deleted-entry
element indicates that an entry has been removed from the feed and the
trash link relation points to a resource listing the entries that have
been removed.  The mechanism used to remove those items is orthogonal to
both.
