I think the original intent of the previous discussion was to say
at this point that âan Atom Processor MUST NOT fail to process an
Atom feed with entries that lack an atom:summary or
atom:content,â as opposed to saying they âMUST NOT fail process
Atom entries [â],â which is an entirely different kettle of fish.

In other words, it had been suggested that processors may freely
skip entries which they consider insufficiently rich, but they
may not refuse processing a feed that contains such entries.
