Is this (yet another) case of your email client failing? I could not
make sense of your last para.

It does support the notion of extreme extension or extension beyond
planning.
I, personally, think there is an alternative that does not have the
semantic conflict Julian mentioned nor the performance / caching
issues with prefetching the link and including.

It seems to be that using atom:link as a container elements
stretches its semantics of "reference from an entry or feed to a Web
resource" too much.
I don't agree with that. A previous discussion on this mailing list
more than a year ago [1] has already concluded that it is perfectly
legal to do so. Additionally, the hierarchy-ID approach appears
similar to the approach taken by the RFC4287 with atom:content usage
models, where several options about inline and out-of-line content
delivery are available.
As Al pointed out on the CMIS mailing list
(<http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/cmis/200905/msg00186.html
>), it may be better to use a container element inside atom:entry.
So, the example in
<http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-divilly-atom-hierarchy-00#section-3.2.3
>:
<atom:entry>
<atom:link rel="down"
href="/finance/feeds/default/portfolios/1/positions">
<atom:feed>
<atom:link rel="self"
href="/finance/feeds/default/portfolios/1/positions"/>
...
</atom:feed>
</atom:link>
...
</atom:entry>
would become
<atom:entry>
<atom:link rel="down"
href="/finance/feeds/default/portfolios/1/positions" />
<ah:children>
<atom:feed>
<atom:link rel="self"
href="/finance/feeds/default/portfolios/1/positions"/>
...
</atom:feed>
</ah:children>
...
</atom:entry>
