I have to vote +1 on this too. Twice now I've wanted to generate feeds
(once for Subversion change logs and once for the 404s produced by my
web server) where I thought the manditory alternate link was
inpractical or impossible.
For the Subversion case, I actually generated HTML pages so that I
could point to them, but that's only because it felt geeky enough to
be entertaining.
For the 404 case, I use the 404 link as the alternate representation
and that's just...pointless.
Be seeing you,
norm
