literally? pedantically? no. not defined in any spec.

is there a concept under discussion which has been referred to as
app:modified with meaning of "any change results in this timestamp being
updated"? yes.

It was implied in what you did say though: since any change increments
atom:updated, despite any author/client directions to the contrary, we then
need to either discard the functionality/description in the format spec for
atom:updated, or we define a new element for the format spec with the old
definition but a new name.

Unless you meant something else, such as limiting your definition to APP
collections ... thus atom:updated in an entry in an app collection reflects
the last modified datestamp, but the atom:updated element in the same entry
in the subscription feed (or directly retrieved for editing) reflects the
atom:updated value supplied by the author?
