If "it" in "only precedent for it" refers to inhertance, can
you explain the sense in which "atom:author is the only
precedent" ?
xml:lang,
Sure, then you can also cite xml:base and possibly more. But
these are irrelevant – they they work on a different layer and
have no concept of “feed-level” or “entry-level.” They’re
possibly better described as annotations at the XML level, as
opposed to metadata at the Atom model level.
And yet in the spec we constrain the relevance of xml:lang and xml:base
to specific elements. Sure, they operate on the XML level, but they do
have relevance on the feed/entry level. Not that this changes your
argument, it's just an observation that xml:lang and xml:base are not
entirely dissimilar to atom:author.
