If you produce feeds that contain multiple entries with the same id, there will be people who misunderstand such documents.

I do believe that there needs to be some way to say "this is not a feed, but an archive".

Solution:
A new atom:archive top level element with normal head and entry children. Difference is multiple instances of entries are allowed with the same id. Each is distinguished by a new atom:version date, that has no semantics other than determining which instance is the newest. Meanwhile, atom:version and multiple instances are explicitly banned from atom:feed.


?

Works for me.

Presumably, atom:entry elements can have at most one atom:version child element. But, are atom:version elements be required in atom:archives?
