Hi yuri, For <gd:feedLink>, I think the general rule of thumb used was that <atom:link> is used for alternative related elements whereas <gd:feedLink> was used for elements that are part of the current entry (e.g. comments) but that are too verbose to be in-lined.
For guidance the ultimate end-all is in the AtomPub RFC: http://atompub.org/rfc4287.html Granted it's a bit verbose, but it covers what is required for compliance. There is some trickiness in things like hierarchies, which have proposals out there but I don't think there is a consensus on how to properly represent hierarchal data in Atom yet. I'll see if I can scare up some more resources for you.
