That's a circular argument; there's nothing ambiguous about rel="service" type="application/atomsvc+xml".

self isn't atom-specific; the fact that it points to an atom document when it occurs in an atom feed is a consequence of its semantics.

Ordinarily, yes. The purpose of the rel="service" link, however, makes that difficult. The whole point of rel="service" is to make it possible to discover Atompub Service Documents, for which there is only a single media type.

Note, the existing rel="self" is also not @type agnostic. If rel="self" is used in an Atom feed, the @type would rightfully be expected to be "application/atom+xml".

Shouldn't @rel be @type agnostic?
