Yes. That’s what the spec says and that’s what IDs are for: they *NEVER change*. Period. Regardless of what else you do with your content, the ID of the same entry is *ALWAYS* the *SAME* it has had since the moment it was created. > Spec aside, this has some implications for storing Atom IDs > next to content they identify, which I imagine doesn't happen > in most CMS tools at the moment. That’s a different matter, and one we need to educate producers about. IDs should always be generated once, at the time of entry creation, and then stored alongside the entry, for eternity – unchanging. Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
