RULE vs. SEQUENCE

Hi,

I have a question... why RULE call nexval() and data in RULE statement are
differend than data in original stmt.

An example:

create sequence a;
create table aa (id int DEFAULT nextval('a'), data text);

insert into aa (data) values ('xxxx');
insert into aa (data) values ('yyyy');

select * from aa;
id|data
--+----
1|xxxx
2|yyyy
(2 rows)

... all is right.

create table log (aid int, act text);

create rule a_ins as
on insert to aa
do insert into log (aid, act) values (NEW.id, 'INSERT');

insert into aa (data) values ('zzzz');
insert into aa (data) values ('qqqq');

test=> select * from aa;
id|data
--+----
1|xxxx
2|yyyy
4|zzzz <----------
6|qqqq
(4 rows)

select * from log;
aid|act
---+------
3|INSERT <----------
5|INSERT
(2 rows)

But I expect in 'log' table as 'aid' same number as numbers for 'zzzz' and
'qqqq'...

It's interesting feature (6.5, 7.0, 7.1...). How is a possible in RULE
obtain same data as in 'aa' table for a default data from the sequence.
