I'm not sure if this is more a question of what is "correct" or what is 
generally accepted...

Does the URI (rdf:about attribute) of an item in RSS 1.0 have to match 
it's <link>? It seems to me that they shouldn't need to. In my 
particular instance I want to use a more globally accepted URI for the 
rdf attribute but have the link point to an alternate location because 
there may be a delay in updating the database that underlies the URI.

How do the readers treat this? Does the reader even consider the URI in 
marking items as read or storing them or just the link?


Thanks,
Paul
