Not necessarily. Since Ev didn't like the inward-pointing link, it has
always been possible to have the link element point outward with
Blogger feeds: with the RSS 1.0 feeds, rss1:link could go wherever you
wanted, and the permalink was in an l:link element from the link
module (that I don't remember anything actually processing, though it
might have), with the Atom feeds the equivalents are an
atom:link/@rel="related" and atom:link/@rel="alternate". You just have
to go to Settings/Publishing and change Show Link Field to yes.
