We *do* have unique links for RSS feeds -- each page url serves
as its own guid (by virtue of there not being a guid entry by
default).

The question I'm posing is whether each separate edit to a page 
should default to generating a new guid for the page.  I think
that should be a per-site decision, not something that PmWiki
dictates to be the case.

On the other hand, if the vast majority of sites expect that
every edit should result in a new entry in an aggregator, then
I'm willing to change the default, as long as we make it clear
how to get back to the other behavior.
