Yes, it's reasonable. That still doesn't mean I think it makes sense. There's very little XML you can come with that wouldn't be trivial for me to implement. That doesn't make it a good idea. One of the goals of Atom is that it be cleanly specified, which to me makes internal consistency between elements a worhty goal.
The @rel of <link> must be consistent with the @type of <content>? Sounds like a false goal. You can call the same built-in library function for every @rel you will ever encounter. Seems clean to me. For the problem with <content>, blame MIME.
