Yes, the issue did exist before given that the linked atom feed could easily have multiple atom:entry elements with the same atom:id value as allowed by rfc4287. It is a simple matter to answer whether there can be multiple distict child sets or a single logical child set and to answer whether membership in that set is based on instance or identity.


I see what you are saying. Perhaps we can just follow RFC4287 and say that the entry with the latest atom:updated wins. In that sense, membership in the logical child set is based on instance. [1]

Thank you for the changes. Another issue that needs to be looked at
(which existing in the previous version of the draft as well)

This issue did not exist in the previous draft since only one link
with @rel value down and @type application/atom+xml was possible.

is how a processor can reconstruct the logical set of children for
an entry... that is, for instance, if the set of child entries
contains multiple atom:entry elements with the same atom:id value,
are those viewed as separate children or is only the entry with the
most recent atom:updated value included in the set of children?
