I would strongly encourage you to ensure that deleted-entry is symmetrical with atom:entry and that it is available in all contexts (i.e. both within and without a Feed Document) that an Atom entry is. Just as we can have
Entry Documents, we should be able to have Deleted-entry Documents.

I could well imagine wanting to return a Tombstone as the message body
for a 403 Gone response for a resource that I know has been deleted. I
guess I had been reading the following pretty liberally:

"""
The at:deleted-entry element MAY appear as a child of atom:feed to
  represent an Atom Entry that has been removed from a feed.

    deletedEntry = element at:deleted-entry {
      atomCommonAttributes,
      attribute ref { atomUri },
      attribute when { atomDateConstruct },
      ( element at:by { atomPersonConstruct}?,
      & element at:comment {atomTextConstruct}?,
      & element atom:link*,
      & element atom:source?,
      & extensionElement* )
    }
"""

Does the MAY prevent at:deleted-entry being used outside the context
of a atom:feed?
