Clearly the representation would still be getting "stored".

seem to mean whatever the relavant spec that stands
behind a particular media type says it means.

So again, analogous to the way "text/xml" implies that whitespace  
between attributes need not conserved, the definition of
"application/atom+xml" could imply that atom:id values may not 
be conserved (as well as anything else that the spec may state
explicitly.)
