Argh, yeah, good point. This depends on the details of how the
perceive change etc., of course, but I imagine most would show them
twice.
OTOH, this may be good incentive for aggregators to start respecting
tombstones :)

Hmm. Seems like SSE tombstones are good enough for the use
case I illustrated; it's acceptable that clients who don't
understand them ignore them (they'll just see more spam), and
the rest of the entry isn't needed (it's spam, after all).
They will see 2X as much spam: once, when they mark the original
spam as
read, and then they will see the tombstone show up as an updated
entry.
So, effectively, spam is up to twice as bad with the SSE tombstones as
it is without them.
