The "atom:author" element is a Person construct that indicates the
default author of the entry. atom:entry elements MUST contain exactly
one atom:author element, unless, in an Atom Feed Document, the atom:head
element contains a atom:author element itself. atom:entry elements
MUST NOT contain more than one atom:author element.
Seems pretty clear to me that an atom entry outside of an Atom Feed Document
wouldn't be anonymous. <contributor> has similar rules. Looking at the list
of elements one would find in a <head> leaves me wondering what other
elements you might want.
Some entries are posted into multiple feeds simultaneously ... would you
want the entry to have multiple head-in-entry elements? How does that fit
your data model?
