[I've never actually read about Atom except at a high level; I basically know what it attempts to do and have treated it as a black box, and I haven't read the spec.] You have seen http://atompub.org/rfc4287.html#element.id when reading about Atom, right?

Sadly, nobody really thought about how if I can predict your future id, I can preempt your post by publishing a /2008/11/05/mccain-was-robbed/ before you do. About the time the discussion turned to UI like "the first time the same id is found in two feeds, ask the user which one is authoritative for ids matching which part of the id URL" I lost hope.
