No!  A feed ID is a *unique* identifier.  My 'golfing' feed is  
entirely distinct from my 'chemistry' feed, although they may share  
some entries. -Tim


Phew! Great. Thanks. That is what I was hoping.

Because I was going to say that if two category feeds could share the  
same

id and have different titles, then this id would  (to stick to our
resource/representation distinction introduced in the entry id  
discussion of
Atom entries) simultaneously have two different representations of  
the same type,
and so would have a very different behavior to the ids we have  
associated with

entries.
