How is this coming along?
I think the current spec really would do with some good simplification. We have
RSS1.1 to look at now, at it does look a hell of a lot simpler. (Don't want to
start a RSS1.1 thread here please)
I think the easiest way to get what you want is a 2 step procedure:
1. Merge the Head with the Entry constructs. They are not different enough
for the difference to be important.
2. Make a Feed a subclass of Entry, with the extra property of being able
to point to a Entry (Since a Feed is a Entry, it also points to other Feeds)
I am +1 on such a refactoring. Nothing will be lost doing this, and a lot gained
in simplicity.

I just created a starting point for a proposal on making the feed element recursive, eliminating the need for RDF syntax, atom:head, and a bunch of things proposed in other paces regarding aggregators and digital signatures.

Unfortunately, I have a paper deadline on Tuesday and can't procrastinate any longer, so someone else can finish the details or I'll finish it later in the week.
