Why not go one step further in generality and call the tagline the summary? Then we will be closer
to the point I had been making in PaceEntriesAllTheWayDown2, and one step closer to showing that
a Feed head is the same structure as an Entry. Or if you go the Fielding way with the recursive pace,
that a Feed is a structure that is a subclass of the Entry structure. And then we will really cut the
length of the spec down to its core.
Because it's not a summary, which shows that a Feed head isn't quite the same thing as an Entry. It would be conceivable, though perhaps not advisable (I'd have to think about it), to add a subtitle element to entry, but I can't really see adding a summary element to feed.

The relevant definitions from dictionary.com are:
tagline: An often repeated phrase associated with an individual, organization, or commercial product; a slogan.
subtitle: A secondary, usually explanatory title, as of a literary work.
The second seems much broader and more useful, and there's nothing stopping you using a slogan as subtitle.
