Certainly, people could rewrite the links and certainly they will if

PubSub, we'll insist on verifying the existence the entry in the reputed
source before we publish any entry with an atom:[EMAIL PROTECTED]'self'] link
that we haven't generated ourselves.
If PubSub is subscribed to the feed pointed to by atom:[EMAIL PROTECTED]'self'], then can't you simply drop any entries claiming to be from that feed but found at a different URI? You'll be getting those entries from the source if they're legitimate, so is there any reason to accept them from elsewhere? Or are you keeping them in case they contain additional information added by someone else?
BTW, I'm in favor of the compromise solution.
