Comment:

 Yes, we know the GUID and URL are different. Smart sites purposely
 make them look different too.

 > A Guid is supposed to be Globally unique across ALL feeds

 only if you mark it as true.

 But you always mark it as false.

 Therefore how can a reader that plays by the rules use it across ALL
 feeds?

 Here !WordPress is the authority on if what it is emitting is true or
 false, and it always says false... because it doesn't even trust
 itself?

 > In the case where pretty-permalinks are NOT in use

 I'm afraid we're talking about two different meanings of 'permalink',
 the index.php?... meaning, and the RSS GUID meaning. But we must
 remember that GUIDs are not to be confused with URLs...
