I don't know that there's a pressing need for such a redesign, but were 
I to look into that, I'd likely actually prefer a format that doesn't 
require me to publish the same information twice, as is often the case 
today. Instead I'd look for annotation on HTML that could provide it 
with Atom semantics. It really wouldn't require much.
