Yes, since atom:content can only have a single child element, then the 
@for is superfluous.  But I don't understand how to meet the feed issue 
without the @for -- can you show me how?  Let's say I have a feed that 
accepts tns:esb entries and snl:foobar entries.

It's not clear to me that every single semantic needs to be completely 
nailed down (viz, 
http://www.dehora.net/journal/2009/02/03/just-use-post/).  Looking at RFC 
5005, what if a feed contains multiple conflicting archive links?  I'll 
meet the requirements, I just don't want to be a special case :)
