Hi emailing list,

I think this is a very difficult question.

I atom:id-entify the main feed using an ISSN. (See below for example.) This number is unique to my publication and I use it one time per feed.

<feed … >
  <id>urn:issn:1234-567X</id>
</feed>

But when it comes to atom archiving, it gets a little trickier…. Should I use the same ISSN as for my recent updates feed? The idea of ISSN is that it should uniquely identify all issues of a serial publication. So it would be appropriate to use it in the static feed archives as well as in the continuously update feed. It is not globally unique on a per my feed basis; but it is globally unique on a per…me…basis. If that made any sense to anyone?

Yes, it made sense. Give the two feeds different ids.

cheers
Bill
