Graham's text would make the *real* entry id the concatenation of the
atom:id of the feed and the atom:id of the entry. This means that we need to
make sure that atom:id is a required element of feed. The problem here is
that it is very easy to "fake" the atom:id of a feed. It is harder to fake
the URI from which a feed is actually read.
I would much prefer if the *real* entry id was built from the concatenation
of the URI of the source feed, as identified in a link element (with
rel="self") and the atom:id of the entry.
