There are all kinds of other things you don't know: like what's inside the document, if the server is up, what the title is, ... What interoperability problem is solved by having a new mime type? And would that not be solvable by

<atom:link rel="entry" type="application/atom+xml" href="a.xml" />

Not that I really care that much.

One such problem occurs in atom:link and atom:content elements.
Specifically:

  <atom:link type="application/atom+xml" href="a.xml" />
  <atom:content type="application/atom+xml" src="b.xml" />

Given no other information I have no way of knowing whether these are
references to Feed or Entry documents.

- there's nothing special about an entry document
- AFAICT (because they're not referenced from the pace), the problems
referred to have other causes.  I prefer we fix those instead.
