There's no standard. I have toyed with this in the past and had come up
with a x:deleted-entry stand in for a deleted entry.
e.g.,
<feed>
<x:deleted-entry>
<atom:id>{id of deleted entry}</atom:id>
</x:deleted-entry>
<entry>...</entry>
<entry>...</entry>
<entry>...</entry>
</feed>
The challenge is knowing how long to keep the x:deleted-entry things
around in the feed.
Perhaps it's sufficient in many cases for the feed to indicate to
consumers how long it keeps deleted-entry items around. Then a consumer
who checks back, finds that they may have missed a tombstone, has the
option of doing a complete sync by paging back through the feed history.

Note that I'm not asking how to update or delete an entry; that's what
APP does. I'm just looking for a flag in the read-only feed that
indicates that the author made a change to an entry that was previously
published.
