My apologies: I didn't see the second part of that email. I thought the extent of Bill's email was the bit addressed to the chairs/editors. In summary response, I agree with Bill -- entries are resources, <entry>s are representations. There is a notional construct thing we call an 'entry', and there is an XML representation of that thing. The spec shouldn't disallow multiple instances of <entry>s with the same <id>, however as a compromise I suggest the spec might use the SHOULD qualifier ... that is, <feed> instances SHOULD NOT have multiple <entry>s with the same <id>. What this means is that if you have a good reason to do so, and you realize that there are a lot of dumb aggregators out there that will choke, and that's ok by you, then go ahead. e.
