thanks a lot for the link! http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-nottingham-http-link-header-04.txt is the latest version, btw, and i have updated my atom landscape overview to also include a link to that draft, which i hope will become an RFC.

http://dret.typepad.com/dretblog/atom-landscape.html

it seems to me that this draft and HTML5 are currently out of sync when it comes to linking to feeds. HTML5 explicitly defines a "feed" relation (http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#link-type-feed), whereas the draft only has "alternate" and thus probably is based on current practice. is HTML5 expected to maybe add "feed" (and whatever else new link relations it may introduce) to the registry, or wouldn't it be easier to include this in the registry from the very beginning, so that HTML5 can count on it?

but then again, if "feed" would be defined by that draft, its semantics would also have to be defined by it, because there currently is no stable document defining it. which in a way brings me back to my initial question of where those semantics are currently defined anywhere...

thanks and cheers,

dret.
