That's not quite accurate. Two entries with the same atom:id may appear within the same atom:feed only if they have different atom:updated elements. The spec is silent on whether or not two entries existing in *separate documents* may have identical atom:id and atom:updated values.
They're ids, not guids. Certainly I would expect that there'll be some accidental conflicts. For instance one site might number its posts post1, post2, post3,...; and a different, unrelated site might do the same.
