Agreed also.

-1, this wording is not explicit about the intent of atom:content.
How about:
The "atom:content" element either contains or links to the
full content of the entry. An "atom:entry" containing an
"atom:content" element MUST be a complete representation of
the entry. If the "atom:entry" is not intended to be a
complete representation of the entry, you MUST use
"atom:summary" instead. The content of "atom:content" is
language-sensitive.
