If you produce feeds that contain multiple entries with the same id, there will be people who misunderstand such documents.
I do believe that there needs to be some way to say "this is not a feed, but an archive".
Solution:
A new atom:archive top level element with normal head and entry children. Difference is multiple instances of entries are allowed with the same id. Each is distinguished by a new atom:version date, that has no semantics other than determining which instance is the newest. Meanwhile, atom:version and multiple instances are explicitly banned from atom:feed.
An uncomfortable thought (for me). Perhaps this a use-case for @profile. If Mark is following this, he might be able to comment on that. Mark?
