Question about Django's syndication framework: why does it require a
link for each item/entry in a feed?  As far as I can tell, this is
optional in the Atom specification (http://www.atomenabled.org/
developers/syndication/atom-format-spec.php#element.link):

>> The "atom:link" element defines a reference from an entry or feed to a Web 
>> resource. This specification assigns no meaning to the content (if any) of 
>> this element.

I ask because I'm creating feeds that are user-customizable, and since
their entries are arranged uniquely for each custom feed, there isn't
a comparable view for each entry on my website.  Consequently, there
isn't anything I can link to; I can define a unique ID for each entry,
as Atom requires, but a link just doesn't make sense.

I guess I'm going to override the Atom1Feed generator class so I don't
have to specify a link, but it would be nice if the per-item link
attribute were made optional in the future.  Is it worth suggesting as
a fix in Django's bug tracker?
