How do you suggest dealing with inappropriate data in the atom:id element? Examples: <x:deleted id='http://example.org/blog/i-am-so-high-at-work-right-now'/> <x:deleted id='http://example.org/blog/im-getting-divorced-and-marrying-my-secretar y'/> <x:deleted id='http://engizmet.org/{embargoed-iphone-news-item}'/> (I've seen very similar entries posted and then deleted from actual feeds.) This still discloses a significant amount of information that the feed author doesn't want disclosed after deleting the entry, and this kind of disclosure is something that a non-technical blogger would not expect. It would be better to avoid sending the tombstones to clients that hadn't received the entries. - Brian
