Or "description" instead of "tagline". "subtitle" sounds like a
formatting directive to me, "print this smaller and below the title."
This is one case where "description" and "summary" are not really
the same thing. But it might be confusing, because HTML uses a
description meta tag for the summary. Ick.
How about "blurb"? American Heritage dictionary has: "A brief publicity
notice, as on a book jacket."

"Subtitle" is less obscure, and as Graham suggests could reasonably
encompass "tagline". Summary isn't far away, but subtitle and tagline
are both more suggestive of the kind of half-a-sentence people use in
this position, rather than a paragraph+.

Any chance of renaming atom:tagline to atom:subtitle? The two sample
feeds posted today have the taglines "ongoing fragmented essay by Tim
Bray" and "WebDAV related news". Aren't taglines meant to be funny or
catchy or clever?
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.
