Comment:

 The GUID should not be relied upon to be a Permalink to the post, It can
 be "235234985732459827498524gdhgdg" and still be a guid.

 A Guid is supposed to be Globally unique across ALL feeds(despite what
 that link you supplied suggested). The fact that the permalink flag is set
 to false shouldn't affect the readers in the least.

 However, In the case where pretty-permalinks are NOT in use, and the guis
 matches the url of the post, It might be a case where it should be set to
 true.. i'm not sure, but that's not something that can be believed 100%
 due to guid being able to be set to anything
