I certainly agree it would be more elegant.

A more pragmatic solution would be to go with "application/atom.entry+xml"
... if WHATWG don't update their spec, we're safe; if anyone has implemented
per the current draft WHATWG spec, we're safe; if any implementations use
naïve string matching, we're safe. The only danger is if someone has
implemented APP per the moving target which is Draft-[n++] ... they should
revise their test implementations as the draft updates, and certainly update
once it reaches RFC status, so no sympathies there.
