I don't see where the consensus was by the way. And I never saw any vote on the issue. Like most issues one gets the impression that Atom is run on some pretense democracy. Some people have made up their minds for god knows what reason, and others are just here to follow. The more we chatter on

I'm in favour of allowing duplicate ids when the source-id is different to simplify creating merged feeds, which would allow the client to figure out what to do. Under any other circumstance, definitely not. Graham

Ok. I am sorry. I thought I had made a really good case for a simple argument to allow multiple entries with the same id in a feed, and thought it had in fact made it into the spec. I then discovered that it still had not. I cleazrly just have no idea how one goes around convincing this group

I don't see the point of this. The problem Sam discussed can be solved without it and without requiring the div. Death to the div is not part of the content. i) Encourage xhtml users to wrap content in a div ii) Require that they before adding any wrapper, they check whether there already is
