Yep. Every feed is, in some sense, complete. And, every feed document
is potentially part of more than one logical feed.
Many of the use cases take their cues from the surrounding context /
use case; below you're basically saying:
* If you're subscribing to this URI, you've got the whole thing (and
BTW, it shouldn't change, because it's an archive).
* If you're putting together an archived feed, and this is one step
in that, the previous archive is over there.

Mixing things can definitely get a bit wierd. For instance, if I
structure my archive feeds to show all entries within a given month
rather than by a certain number of entries, each individual feed is
both
complete and part of a larger set. Complete in the sense that each
represents a complete set within a limited window of time.
<feed>
<id>tag:example.org,2006:archives/200609.xml" />
<fh:complete />
<fh:archive />
<link rel="self" href="200609.xml" />
<link rel="prev-archive" href="200608.xml" />
...
</feed>

OK. I'm adding this text just after the list of feed types in the
introduction;

The semantics of a feed that combines these types is undefined by
this
specification.

WRT what future specs can or can't do, that's pretty much up to them.
