RE: Categories for atom?

This approach does seem the logical one, though it highlights a real glaring
omission - nothing is said about how the element from another namespace is
interpreted. In this case its clear that the contents of dc:subject refer to
its parent element, but that's a human best-guess, nothing in the Atom (or
DC) spec covers this.
