In this instance, I think atom:name, atom:resource, or atom:link works better.

+1 atom:link

I think atom:[EMAIL PROTECTED] works even better. Thinking of what information is stored in atom:uri and how it is used, why isn't it just an attribute? It's a single value intended for computers, not humans, to parse.

The atom:uri element does not have a 'title' attribute or anything else that makes it necessary to keep it as an element, the actual name of the element is awkward in this context and it is not consistent with the rest of the specification to have URI's as text nodes of elements but rather as attribute values (of @src and @href attributes respectively).

Consistency makes the format easier to understand and learn. Isn't that something worth stribing (and thus changing) for?
