OK, Sam has swayed me.
If there are masses of publishers eager to do away with that restriction, they will. And someone will come back and change the spec to reflect reality. However, that link element often just points at a web page that vaguely relates to the origin of the feed. That seems ok to me, in the absence of a better alternate.
Remember folks, this is about feed-level links, not entries. Links in entries are allowed to be omitted if there's atom:content (PaceContentOrLink, format-04).
