Do we think that people will ever want "whole" resource notification for a feed ? I can't think of a use case so I am leaving that part out for now and just focusing on describing topics as feeds and non feeds
I don't see any reason why someone would use a whole-resource subscription for an Atom feed but the ability to express it comes from the fact that a Link header indicates a hub that accepts whole-resource subscriptions, and a Link header can be published on any resource. Really I was just trying to be clear about the meaning of this rather than suggesting that you would actually do it in practice.
The other alternative would be to say that you are simply not allowed to publish a Link header if your resource is a stream/feed resource, but I don't think that restriction would really buy us much.
