USE CASE: Remove the need for feeds to restate the content of HTML pages

Did you do some kind of "Is this Good for the Web?" analysis on this
one? That is, do things get better if there's yet another feed format?
As far as I can tell, things get better if the feed format and the default
output format are the same, yes. Generally, redundant information has
tended to lead to problems.
Would this include having a mechanism (microdata? xml islands?) that
preserves extension markup from Atom feeds? eg. see
