"the Feed element is optional and, if missing, is assumed to be the page"

http://microformats.org/wiki/hatom#Feed

from the atom spec:

 http://www.atomenabled.org/developers/syndication/atom-format-spec.php#rfc.section.4.1.1

"The "atom:feed" element is the document (i.e., top-level) element of an 
Atom Feed Document"

That being said the atom spec also says about content...

"If the value of "type" is an XML media type [RFC3023] or ends with 
"+xml" or "/xml" (case insensitive), the content of
atom:content MAY include child elements and SHOULD be suitable for 
handling as the indicated media type"

which is interesting I think, does this include <feed /> elements?
