I think the entry tag is pretty much essential. I'm still unsure what
ORE tools are supposed to do with this, and why replacing Atom
semantics with ORE ones inside an atom feed is a better thing to do
than having a vanilla atom feed where the entries point to RDF/XML
representation of ReM.  I suspect the toolchain hasn't calcified
around this standard yet, so I'd argue that if you find it useful for
us to embed HTML in content elements, we should.
