What I wanted to say is that the text in the registry *can* be read to support only relations to *direct* parents. Looking at <http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-divilly-atom-hierarchy-03#section-2.3>, I'm pretty sure that that draft restricts "up" to direct parents, so it appears we need to invest some work here (maybe head over to the Atom mailing list???)
