The updated element is used to indicate when a significant update has
occurred to the entry. If you are updating the updated element when you
update your entry, you are doing the right thing. If RSSBandit and
FeedDemon are not picking up the fact that the entry has been modified
based on a changed updated value (even if the updated element is the
only thing that is different), then I would say those readers have a
bug. You should never be changing your id element value.

I'm looking for info about what the expected 'updated' datetime element
semantics look like, and haven't found anything in old email and the
wiki on this topic. Is there a description somewhere? RSSBandit and
FeedDemon don't pick up entry changes based on my changing the feed and
entry 'updated' element to a later datetime. Instead I change the id
element and get a 'new' entry, which is not desirable, since id for an
entry should be a permanent uuid. I don't know how updates are supposed
to occur.
Thanks for any help,
James
