I have that pattern - we have users who have multiple websites, the list of sites is a feed and managing sites is a post to the feed. Turns out that Atom is "sort of" closed under these operations.

The way we've implemented this in Connections is pretty simple and effective. We essentially have the concept of a collection-of-collections -- an atompub collection whose entries each represent a collection. Within each of the atom:entry elements is an app:collection element. Create a new collection by posting an entry. Edit the collection metadata by putting to the edit uri. Each collection has an entry URI and a collection feed URI.

Bill, James,
with the approaches above how do you specify what workspace(s) the collection should belong to ?

In the system I work with with; all the users content websites are in a single workspace. Other collections (inbuilts, tag-based, SNSes etc) are in their own workspace, so we don't need to split out websites. If I had to split them out I would tag the posted entry representing the new website with a category for the workspace (said system tags each workspace with an atom:category, as switching on atom:title is fragile)
