Well it goes quite beyond the persistence of the value. The atom:id is an opaque string, it's a IRI, not a URL.

In practice it's very hard to guarantee this.... what argument are you making against using the http URI the identifier? I understand if the tag URI is necessary for internal reasons for the application, but if the http URI is, indeed, a viable identifier for the resource... why not use that?
Use atom:link for that. - Sylvain
