1. If the media object is the primary content of the entry (which

I used to think that, but we observe in the RSS2 world that there's a well-accepted use case for something that's specially designated for different handling. Why fight it?


2. Without multiple rel="enclosure", how does support and
differentiate between media objects that are essentially the same
resource but different formats, where the difference may not (easily)
be expressed using mime types? Example:

I'm pretty well convinced that multiples can't hurt.

3. I don't think this Pace is the right place for listing what should
go in the <link> registry - separation of concerns and all that

That's because it's done as a delta to FieldingLinks, the new languages goes in a couple of places in that section so I just preserved it.


4. What do we call an inline (i.e. base64 encoded content) media
object - an attachment?

Nope, that's just <content> -Tim
