The spec says if I don't have a <content> then I must have a <link
@rel="alternate">. Can I assume the later is a substitution of the former
if I don't want to provide any <content>?

The reason I don't want to provide <content> is due to its nature of human
consumption (while in my application I'm mainly targeting at machine
processing, so I don't want to parse <content> but prefer to just have an
HTTP address to retrieve the content), also there's a "no composite MIME
type" clause for <content @src> that may potentially limit the resources I
can include in as content.

But then it can also be confusing if I don't have a <content> element but
have multiple <link @rel="alternate">. I can't be sure which resource
should be treated as the real content or they should all be treated
equally as the contents.

Thanks,
