I believe this is where the disconnect is.

If I got it right, in AtomPub and the model Erik is suggesting we adopt 
because it would work both for composition and aggregation, a collection 
doesn't contain member resources directly, it contains entries. Entries 
can then contain resources (composition) or links to other resources 
(aggregation).
The cost of this model is to introduce a level of indirection.

LDPC do not have anything like that. Instead, resources are directly 
referenced from the container.
