I don't.

Hmm. Ok, maybe we should say that's what we have then. Feeds and
entries aren't dictionaries in the strict sense because they would
allow duplicate keys, but I expect to be able to write:

  <atom:entry>
    <atom:title>...</atom:title>
    <dc:subject>Some subject</dc:subject>
    <dc:subject>Another subject</dc:subject>
    <atom:author><atom:name>Norman Walsh</atom:name></atom:author>
    <geo:lat>42.4</geo:lat>
    <geo:long>-72.2</geo:long>
    <dc:subject>Yet one more subject</dc:subject>

"Yuck", would be my technical assessment :) however... the pace we're talking about (explicitly) doen't deal with order of entry children just feed children (I punted). Going by your rnc, can I assume you expect to write:

<feed>
  <entry>
    ...
  </entry>
  <tagline>FD85 1117 1888 1681 7689 B5DF </tagline>
