...Which is exactly why I (and others I know of) can't use RSS for many of  
the purposes I'd like, but instead hope to be able to use Atom in those  
areas.

Many Atom entries and feeds won't have alternate, human readable  
(typically HTML) alternatives. Atom is in such cases used more like a  
transport layer of arbitrary resources.
