I also concur. An aggregator is free to do so, but I don't think it should

An aggregator might also only do so in extremis - if the feed starts going
404, it could then try the last cached /feed/head/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'self'].
Very, very good point. The text needs something along the lines of "Atom producers MUST NOT expect consumers which found the document at a different URI to switch to requesting it from the URI specified.", or something less clunky. Otherwise it's going to cause all sorts of problems and arguments.
