PaceDuplicateIDWithSource


Abstract

Allow multiple version of an entry within a feed where the source id is different.

Status

Proposed

Rationale

The current spec does not allow multiple versions of the same entry within a feed. In normal usage, this is OK, but when merging two feeds into a single feed, it requires duplicate detection and the discarding of data.

Note it does not make legal having an entry without a source and a entry with a source, both of which have the same entry id, since the feed without a source may come from the same feed as the one with.

Proposal

In relation to atompub-format-08:

In section 4.1.1, replace:

With:

Impacts

Allows duplicate ids within feeds, so atom:source must also be examined when looking for duplicates.
