I don't think so.  The notion of how up-to-date a resource
representation is from a syndication perspection (primary domain of
4287) might be acceptably staler then the notion of how up-to-date a
resource representation might be from an editing perspective (primary
domain of APP).

More concretely, I'm OK if I don't see an update on  _your_ blog for
an hour after you *publish*... but I'm pretty ticked if I don't have
an up-to-date view of _my_ own when trying to *edit* it.

Trying to do both from the same URIs is possible, but not for the
faint of heart ;)
