The options as I see them:
1. I could lie. 2. I could leave it out and not worry about it. 3. I could be devious and use: http://norman.walsh.name/atom/subversion.xml#xpointer('/1/2/6') Though I'd have to use content type="HTML" then, I think. 4. Actually go and create a representation and point to it. 5. Persuade the WG to make link optional if there's a content construct that isn't empty.
Fortunately, the WG has already been persuaded:
"atom:entry elements that contain no child atom:content element MUST contain at least one atom:link element with a rel attribute value of 'alternate'."
