The interesting question is *why* haven't those applications implemented
support for Entry Documents.  My guess is that Entry documents aren't
particularly interesting to their use cases which is likely because they
serve a different purpose.

Makes sense.  I forgot that entry documents were used for creation in APP.

But serving different purposes does not necessitate a different media
type.  Both Firefox and Googlebot are voracious consumers of text/html
documents, yet for very different purposes.
