 It's trivial to break this, but definitely edge cases. Simply do an
 WordPress (WXR) import of content from a staging of the same blog. Or
 another scenario would be deciding to restart your blog, and later
 reimport some of the content, maybe selectively by author. You can easily
 result in multiple posts with the same GUID (as seen in the feed).

 The property of uniquiness seems to have actually decreased by this
 change, not be much, but it does seem it has. Are there other scenarios
 where the property of uniqueness has increased?
