Here is a link to a resource:

    <link type="application/atom+xml" href="..." />

Please explain how a tool can decide whether that is a link to a <atom:feed>
document, or is a link to an <atom:entry> document?

Sounds like PaceAnchorSupport. How do you propose we do this encouragement,
if not by codifying it into a spec?

The existing behaviour is based on the various incarnations of RSS where the
only document type involved are feeds. RFC 4287 introduces a new document
type, the Atom Entry Document, which autodiscovery-01 fails to take into
consideration. That doesn't meet my definition of "well-written".
