I actually put in code to get uniqueness from title + content, but it 
'only' does that when the link, guid, and enclosure tags do not exist 
for the item.

So, we could:
* do nothing.   (that feed really should have unique links)
* add a per-feed option to use title + content hash for uniqueness
* change everything to use title + content hash for uniqueness.
