Comment:

 This is intentional.  The GUID is merely a unique identifier for that
 post.  '''It does not have to be a URL at all.'''  We just use a URL
 because our ?p=ID URLs are always going to be unique because the ID is
 unique to the blog, and the URL of the blog is unique to the blog.  GUIDs
 should never, ever change.
