quoting the feedparser docs:

"Some RSS feeds use guid when they mean link. guid can also be used as an
opaque identifier that has nothing to do with links. If an RSS feed uses guid
as the entry link and no link is present, Universal Feed Parser detects this
and makes the guid available in d.entries[i].link."

My guess is if isPermalink="true" AND link is present, it won't overwrite
link. It will only put the guid there IF (1) isPermalink="true", and (2) link is
NOT PRESENT.


Hope that makes more sense.

Cheers,
