Being able to make a single GET request that returned only the  
changed attributes (as well as new items and tombstones for deleted  
items) across all items in the collection would be nice and  
efficient.  Likewise, does Atom support updating multiple resources  
in a single request, and is that group of changes atomic?

That requirements list contains every little thing that anyone has  
mentioned.  I want to trim it down and prioritize it.
