I just answered my own question. The Ids can't be changed by the user (right?)
and I think it would be best to do a GET first and then make sure the entry Ids
match before pursuing.
Right.

about the Atom Publishing Protocol in general regarding entry Ids. I know there are
some people on the mailing list who have developed their sites using Abdera and Atom.
Are you storing the Entry Ids in a database or other structure? I was wondering how
exactly to handle editing a resource.
I guess I am wondering how to ensure that the link during an edit of a resource
is infact that Entry itself the client is trying to edit.
Taken from an article online just for reference:
PUT /blog/entries/1 HTTP/1.1
Host: example.org
Content-Type: application/atom+xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: nnnn
If-Match: "/blog/entries/1?1"
If-Unmodified-Since: Sat, 12 Aug 2006 13:40:03 GMT
tag:example.org,2006:/blog/entries/1

Some different text.
How should it know that
/blog/entries/1
and the entry
tag:example.org,2006:/blog/entries/1
Mean the same? In this case the Id happens to be the URL of the entry but from what I have read the id does not have to be any part of the URL. If someone were to do a PUT to the same URL but with this ID (2007 instead of 2008)
tag:example.org,2007:/blog/entries/1
Does it overwrite the id?
