You put this in terms of databases and I put the question in terms of graphs (which if you
have an rdf database to store your triples comes to the same thing).
And my feeling is here that we should not have to keep the sequence numbers of the

Very well said, with emphasis on "have to"; they shouldn't be prohibited from doing so if they want to (and I don't think you're saying otherwise).
Display order on the client will also completely depend on what the client is trying to
do. If the client is just interested in archiving all the entries, then any new feed
be it an old one or a new one will be of interest: it will just be added to the database.
