Every XEP I have seen includes a schema section. RFC 4287 defines the ATOM schema but it is not clear the ATOM schema should match the schema for XEP-0277. I am guessing it does, but if different people guess differently then interoperability goes out the window. In fact this has happened already during interoperability testing. Without a schema it is also not clear that ATOM format is what MUST be used - the text doesn't seem to be clear on this although the examples use ATOM style. I would suggest modifying the XEP to say that ATOM is the format that MUST be used for the item and include the complete schema if possible.
