This took me quite a while to think through, but in the end I
agree. Translations of a resource will often have slightly different
contents in terms of the semantics of what is said, so I'd give them
different ids.

On the other hand, a way of subscribing to one feed that sometimes
publishes in both English and (say) French, and only reading one
translation of each would be handy. That's probably rel='alternate'
within the atom:entry, though.
