IMHO, it depends entirely on how the extension is defined. The various extensions I have put together (e.g. comments, expires, etc), the metadata can be placed on the feed/source level but is only relevant on the entry level (same model as <author />). One could easily imagine, however, that other extensions would apply only on the feed level. It's entirely up to the extension and implementors should make no assumptions.
The crux of the question is: what happens when an extension that does not specify the scope appears at the feed level?
