Interesting, thanks.  But serving different purposes doesn't
necessitate a new media type.  What's important is how the two types
of documents are interpreted.

How does your processing of an entry document differ from the
processing of a feed containing (only) that same entry?  If processing
the entry is a subset of processing the feed, then you probably don't
need a new media type.

Hmm.. I understand what you're saying but I don't think I agree.  In the
APP implementations I've put together, Feed and Entry documents
generally serve two entirely different purposes and are usually intended
for two entirely different audiences.
