If we're talking about hard delete, all you need is 410 gone,
no markup needed.

Eh? How is a feed reader supposed to know that an Entry (which
might not even have had a permalink) was deleted from a feed vs
just fell off the bottom?

1: If it doesn't have a permalink (or a link at all), it's not on the web; in all seriousness, why do we care about it?

2: why does it matter, the difference between falling off the bottom and being deleted?

cheers
