What if those particular <links> had @rel="in-reply-to", and
per that spec would be the <id> URIs. Would updating those URIs
be wrong?
If an atom:id happened to be a dereferencable HTTP URI and
dereferencing produced 301, what would you do?
The same answer (ie, nothing at all) applies to ³in-reply-to.²
Those aren¹t links to a web resource. They¹re IDs, and as such
eternal.
ah, but how do you know those URIs are id's?
or more specifically, is the following URI an id or a location?
<link rel="something-you-don't-know" href="..." />

It's entirely dependent on the type of link. If a link relation is used
that you're not familiar with, you cannot make any assumptions about
whether or not the href is dereferenceable or not. You must treat is as
an opaque identifier.
