In any case, we're talking about something as simple as the name of a single element. I just don't see any real technical value in changing it's name. It doesn't make processing any easier.

I don't think asking or looking for "technical value" is that relevant here. Names are important [witness the arguments over the name "RSS"]. In markup, element naming tends to matter.
In this case replacing atom:feed with atom:collection doesn't help me personally understand the format better - I'm 0 on PaceCollection.
