I already voted but, for the record, I'm +1 on the three bullets.

But has anyone addressed how this will inherit - will
atom:entry/atom:author merge with the set of authors defined in
atom:feed/atom:author or will it replace them?
+1 to replace
� keep atom:contributor
+1
(But we should clarify the inheritance rules - if there are any - to
avoid confusion with those of atom:author - if there any)
The problem is mostly when there are author(s) without contributor in
the feed (resp. entry) and contributor(s) without author in the entry
(resp. feed).
Is the entry author-less (resp. contributor-less) or is it inheriting
the feed author(s) (resp. contributor(s))?
I suggest considering author(s)+contributor(s) as a whole, that is, the
entry would be author-less (resp. contributor-less).
This issue would not exist if there couldn't be an atom:contributor
without at least an atom:author, though I'm not sure this wouldn't bring
some more issues...
