Yes we do, if we want to go down this route. I suggest appending the current time (or for old versions, the last time that version was current) at the source.
And what about the use case of a wiki's RecentChanges log? Each entry refers
to a specific page, and there may be multiple such entries for each page as
it gets rapidly edited ... and wiki folks have found it important to be able
to monitor all change events.
Each log entry is an entry in itself, with its own id. That seems a far better functional parallel to the basic blog feed. As with the share price example, the topic of the entry (the company, or the wiki page) is far more analogous to a category that the entry belongs to, than to an its identity. Everyone stop trying to use ids as a category system.
