My feed reader follows the alternate link when I click the "see the web page 
for this entry" button.

I guess if you link to a well-known location for a license, or the application 
can somehow recognize the license, then you could categorize entries/feeds by 
license. This would allow you to set up a 100% legal spamblog by seeking out 
only Creative-Commons Sharalike content, for example.

Useless, for now.

Oddly, the default is "alternate" if no relation is given. So, you need 
"related" to mean "no other relation applies."

Links to a feed containing comments/replies to the current entry. My current 
feedreader doesn't do anything useful with this, but it easily could, and I 
wish it did.

When a feed reader is passed a feed document from a web browser, it uses the 
"self" link to locate the feed's subscription URL.
