Can somebody give me a link to where we discussed the requirement that
atom:content MUST NOT contain a composite type? I've tried searching my
archive but I couldn't find anything at all. The change was introduced
in draft-08.

I can't agree that this is a mere spec bug until I can find where it
was discussed, and what the intent for this ban was.

I don't really see why we are banning these MIME types from either
local or remote content.
