imagine an author writes an entry, and then publishes it...

1. in his main feed
2. in a category-specific feed
3. in some planet-x feed
4. in an RSS 1.0 feed for backwards compatibility

is that the same entry occurring in four different places, or is it four
different entries? My sense is that it is the same entry.

If that entry is then aggregated into a composite feed, does it matter which
feed it originally came from?

The essential nature of an entry is fully contained* within the entry
itself, and does not need rely on some context to give it proper meaning.
The context may give additional meaning, or it may not, but nonetheless it's
not part of the entry.

That's my sense of it.
