what about comparing that entry against other entries? how do you sort a set
of entries into chrono order?
We have atom:updated and atom:published for that.
The value does not need to correspond to any particular event in an entries life-cycle. Suitable values include date of last modification, or the date the atom:entry is generated by an Atom producer.
does this mean that a dynamic system could cause the same entry to have a
new modification date on every retrieval?
i) It's not a modification date
ii) Yes. The point of atom:modified and atom:version is to differentiate 2 different versions. Dynamic dates do that perfectly well.
