Basically, rel="related" should almost never be used. If you need the UA 
to display some links to the user then you should put those links in the 
atom:content using (X)HTML markup to guarentee (as much as possible) that 
they show up (since not all Uas expose "related" links). If you don't want 
the UA to display the link then you should use something other than 
rel="related" because some UA's will expose all "related" links.

Brian, What about rel="enclosure"?  Listing 4 at 
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-atom10.html shows 
enclosures like

    <link rel="enclosure" 
          type="audio/mpeg"
          title="MP3"
          href="http://www.example.org/myaudiofile.mp3";
          length="1234" />

Should enclosures also "almost never be used", but exposed via the content 
element instead?  How would the above enclosure be coded in the content 
element?  What do UAs do with "enclosure"?  Do they display the title as 
link text with the href as the target?

I've been thinking of enclosures as large relateds so that is what lead me 
to ask. 

Thanks,
Pete Brunet
