But it isn't, You can never just dump the bits in; you have to be careful about things like namespace declarations, entity declarations, xml:lang, xml:base, and atom-specific things that may or may not be inherited.

For better or worse, people do react negatively to extra layers of elements like this.

Hi Mark,

True, the following is more verbose...

<atom:link rel="something" href="...">
 <ae:inline>
   <atom:feed>
     ...
   </atom:feed>
 </ae:inline>
</atom:link>

than either of the alternatives you suggest, yet it strikes me that then being able to inline an atom feed, rather than something that is not an
atom feed (even if it looks an awful lot like an atom feed) is a good
trade for that verbosity?
