Agreed. folks that process feeds (including content) as complete documents would need to be aware of the potential problems, but overall, it should be fine.

Because of the way that most feed readers process content, this is probably unlikely to be a problem; however, there still is the potential for issues. For instance, what if this entry is included in an atom feed that contains another entry whose xhtml content uses the same anchor id's?

Well, entries are typically viewed one at a time, so in practice it's not apt to be a problem. I think same-doc refs should be just fine in general. -Tim
