there's no need for a MAY if we just define a protocol for a flat model.
atompub does not talk about nested collections, because it is outside of
the scope of interactions you need for basic functionality. many
implementations have created conventions/additions that allow collections,
but from the protocol level standpoint, it doesn't matter at all.

i think the best argument is to say that for a basic platform, there's no
need to address this question, unless we want to build interactions around
that notion.
