It doesn't rationalize rel="edit-resource". And it needs to; editing non-header metadata about a resource v editing the resource is a first class webarch headache. How many resources are in play with a media entry?
Your other points aside, I just don't see a problem here. You do a POST, and as a consequence two resources are created: one is a "Media resource" containing whatever the body of your post represented, the second is a "Media link resource" which, irrespective of what kind of thing you posted, is represented by an Atom Entry and which describes the Media resource. Totally within the semantics of POST, I see no webarch tension here at all. In fact the whole thing feels elegant and minimal to me. You want to update the metadata package, you update it. You want to update the picture of the cat, do that too. The two are decoupled and [important to me] not hard to explain. -Tim
