You can have two entries or feeds with the same id, as long as they
have different updated time stamps.
It's very much the same as you being Robert Yates all your life, but
having different sizes throughout your life. At any point in time you
have all the same properties...

This relates to work that we are doing with the publishing

In an implementation of APP a single entry can appear both in the
APP collection and in any number of arbitrary feeds that the site
subsequently offers.
These feeds / collections can be optimized differently depending on
the client. For example, an entry in the collection feed may have
its content "out of lined" whereas the "same" entry rendered in a
feed may have its content inlined. There are other different
optimizations that we are investigating, that cause the entry
representation in various feeds / collections to be different, even
though it has originated from the same source.
So are these representations in the different feeds / collections
the same entry or different entries? Should they have the same id?
and if a feedreader comes across two entries with the same atom id,
what, if anything, can it infer from that? is it only that they
came from the same source?
Many Thanks,
