Seems to me like making a source-URI reference a SHOULD would help solve an immediate problem, irrespective of the hypothetical problem of copying.
I see no downside. There are going to be scenarios where it's not reliable, but there are going to be lots where it's useful.
Well, it does make it easy for me to put entries in your feed.
...and to confirm they weren't there to start with.
How so? Do I go back and confirm with the server? Why did I downoad a whole feed to do that? Maybe it's changed. What does it mean if I retrieve at a feed a URI and it's not the same one?
This creates a unique situation for users, where they can download a feed, but possibly not subscribe to it.
It's also a whole new class of bugs, and I'm having trouble thinking of all of them.
