this relates to an HTML-WG discussion about the algorithm to create Atom feeds from HTML (<http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#atom>).
I don't get why this was added to the spec in the first place. Under what conditions would a UA want or need to generate a feed from a webpage? Do you have a pointer to a thread or something where this idea was initially proposed?
As for the id bug itself, I think that's the least of your problems. From my brief reading, the algorithm looks to me to be riddled with errors, not including the parts that are just plain bad.
Frankly I'd toss the whole thing out. Then again, I'd say the same for a good deal of HTML5.
