(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.

Unfortunately, this makes it seem that decentralization and caching are bugs, not features.
