I would tend to agree that the current best-known ID of an external identifying 
page should be set as preferred.

Maybe this points to the need for a new semantic rank of "outdated". This would 
help fix overloading of "normal" (which presently means both "old, but valid" 
and "another view, possibly in the minority, but certainly not 'wrong' [which 
is 'deprecated']").

Outdated views of the data could also be qualified to show that the notion that 
some data was true (or thought to be true?) at some point in time, but I'm not 
sure that fits better as a qualification than the ranking methodology. Point in 
time is useful for some of these cases but not all of them, I think.
