    <section title="Activity Streams in Atom">
      <t>An activity stream is represented in Atom as an <spanx style="verb">atom:feed</spanx>
      element as described in section 4.1.1 of the Atom specification.</t>

      <t>The display name of the activity stream is encoded as the content of
      the <spanx style="verb">atom:title</spanx> child of the <spanx
      style="verb">atom:feed</spanx> element as defined in section 4.2.14.</t>

      <t>The list of activities in the stream is encoded as a list of <spanx
      style="verb">atom:entry</spanx> elements, as described in section 4.1.1
      of the Atom specification. These <spanx style="verb">atom:entry</spanx>
      elements may either represent a sequence of activities as described in
      <xref target="activitiesinatom"></xref> or objects as described in <xref
      target="objectentries"></xref>. In the latter case, the activity is
      implied as described in <xref target="impliedactivity"></xref>.</t>
