"If an atom:entry is copied from one feed into another feed, then the source atom:feed's metadata (all child elements of atom:feed other than the atom:entry elements) MAY be preserved within the copied entry by adding an atom:source child element, if it is not already present in the entry, and including some or all of the source feed's metadata elements as the atom:source element's children. Such metadata SHOULD be preserved if the source atom:feed contains any of the child elements atom:author, atom:contributor, atom:copyright, or atom:category and those child elements are not present in the source atom:entry.

The text implies that the source must be an atom:feed element, and those have required elements. The RNC also requires atom:title and atom:updated, etc. I guess we could add "All required feed metadata elements MUST be present". OK? Robert Sayre
