PubSub regularly produces feeds with multiple instances of the same atom:id.
Which part of "universally unique" didn't you understand?
It is particularly important to avoid prohibiting this benign
practice since it is so important to generators of aggregated feeds.
Aggregated feed generators are supposed to maintain atom:id unchanged when
they copy entries into an aggregate feed.
This is a fair point. I concede that multiple versions of entries with the same id is acceptable if and only if they have different feed ids in their head-in-entry, since essentially then they aren't in the same feed.
