* 4.15 The "atom:content" Element -- I strongly believe that more
 than one atom:content should be allowed; there are use cases
when there are multiple representations of the item, and it is
useful and necessary to communicate this in the feed. I suggest
that multiple atom:content elements be allowed, as long as they
have different type attributes.

+1, but not just type attributes, also xml:lang variations please.

-1. An Atom entry is *one* representation and you can link to alternates. I'm deeply unhappy that this was raised again. We went over and over on the matter, and no one ever used them anyway.

+1. I think it is important to include multiple translation in a single feed.

The option of giving people alternatives makes sense too. Especially
since there is no option for a fallback mechanism.

Furthermore, as pointed out before, that restraint does not make much
sense since you can easily emulate the whole fallback thing with XHTML
which is allowed as content model.
