A few improvements of atom over directories is that our feed can contain not just the current version of an entry, but all previous versions as well, which I think I remember was a feature supported by the vms file system.

Interesting. It reminds me of a thought I had a while ago: would it be possible to emulate 80% of WebDAV by using HTTP + Atom? Would we also need some sort of list structure, a la XOXO?
