Dates shouldn't matter. The feed has ID elements which is what identify entries. Atom has no guid element. So I would expect this to work with any reader.

I wish they had concrete, accurate id and created_at. IIRC these attributes are fixed in AT.

But is this producing ID elements? And if so, based on what, since they don't seem to be coming from any CSS selectors? That's my question.

It seems to use the link as the ID based on clicking a few examples on the site. An ok option for this type of thing.
