The plus side to the third option is that it is really no different than
an Atom feed that uses content payloads of any other arbitrary XML media
type (section 4.1.3.3 item #4). The current spec is silent on what an
Atom implementer needs to do with content media types that they don't
understand.

Or less. Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of the current spec clearly only cover 1
and 2. Going beneath that is outside the spec, and likely to be
ignored by implementers.
