I've been wanting to do the same thing for link elements. Let's propose
a single solution:
<entry>
<x:logo type="{media-type}">{url}</x:logo>
<x:icon type="{media-type}">{url}</x:icon>
<link>
<x:logo type="{media-type}">{url}</x:logo>
<x:icon type="{media-type}">{url}</x:icon>
</link>
</entry>
Both elements should follow the exact same rules as the existing
atom:logo and atom:icon elements.

icon and logo to be added to an entry, the way it currently is
allowed on a feed.
I have been publishing entries like this for over a year now [1], and
so has
James Gosling [2], and other users of BlogEd. It would be really nice
to keep
this semantic information in the feed somehow.
Perhaps something like:
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";>
<title>Example Feed</title>
<link href="http://example.org/"/>

<summary>Some text.</summary>
</entry>
</feed>
Though from what I have said in other posts about relative uris in
extension elements I suppose it would be better to have a new link type.
Any ideas?
