Yes, of course.

I don't really know. And I don't think it's a problem. All the different  
representations of the same entry has the same atom:id, so what  
link[@rel='edit']/@href points to is not that significant imo. Plus, it's  
not required, so dropping it in the 'edit' representation is probably a  
good idea.
