This proposal seemed to have enjoyed some support, yet it did not seem to have made it into the current draft, despite being crucial to the solving the issue that PaceDuplicateIDs was designed to address. However, for it to work, the re-aggregator would need to have access to a "self" link, which is not required by the current draft.
I do not agree that PaceDuplicateIDs was primarily designed to address the DOS-attack scenario, or even pretends to ameliorate that situation. I think it primarily exists to support a bunch of scenarios where, for different reasons, people wanted to be able to generate feeds where entries might appear more than once.
I think the WG basically decided to punt on the DOS scenario. -Tim
