I'd say it should be this instead:

   "If you find more than one atom:foo2, fail.
    If you don't find an atom:foo2,
*   and you really, really need it,
    you are allowed to fail and still call yourself Atom compliant.
    Process the atom:foo2 if it exists."

Examples of "need it":

    a search robot that is looking for either summary or content
    a spammer tool that searches for email addresses in author elements
        (yes, I know that's a MAY)
