Consider a message from client to server using the Atom Protocol.
Do the following messages mean the same thing?

<entry>...
  <id>...</id>
  <title>...</title>
  <content/>
</entry>

<entry>...
  <id>...</id>
  <title>...</title>
  <summary/>
</entry>

<entry>...
  <id>...</id>
  <title>...</title>
  <content/>
  <summary/>
</entry>
