Although it is not a show stopping problem, the link has some issues.
This has been previously commented on by others. In particular,
some of the attributes refer to the link (rel, title) whereas other attributes
refer to what the link points to (length, type). There has also been
some interest about multiple links to various representations of
the same resource.
The following situation is not unrealistic: Assume an entry describes
a major event. Enclosures may have different representations of this
event such as a SMIL slide show, an audio only mp3 or a
video clip. These are all the same resource but has different representations.
The end client can then download the one that is most appropriate for
its rendering capabilities, storage capacity, etc.
The link would look something like:
<link rel="enclosure" title="major event"> <representation href="zzz" type="application/smil" length="80000"/> <representation href="xxx" type="audio/mpeg" length="8000000"/> <representation href="yyy" type="video/mpeg" length="80000000"/> </link>
To maintain compatibility with the current spec, one could limit the number of representations to one for particular types of rel's.
