Well, for an RSS feed, it's URL pretty much plays the role of the
identifier*.  An atom:id certainly could be used, but I wouldn't imagine
that any sane implementation would make it anything different than the
URL of the RSS feed itself.

* quite honestly, I've never really understood why atom:feed requires an
  atom:id :-)
