Existing practice for exporting blogs is often a whole feed, but I agree it isn't a common case; on the other hand with something like a contacts list completeness is important. There is an assumption with PUSH at the moment that you can always fetch the original feed. With Monica's addition of the REST verbs, this gets a little more tricky.

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.
