1) Change the attribute value for the rel from "alternate" to "feed",
Don't forget, since you would be doing that primarily for people who think too much, that you'll also need to include a profile [1] URI and make a guess at what dereferencing that URI ought to return, and probably take a stab at explaining how to deal with multiple profiles, since the HTML spec punted on that.
This would not be necessary if 'feed' were added to the HTML standard directly.
Popularizing "feed" would have one benefit outside Atom's scope, though: there's currently no useful way for an RSS 1.0 feed to do autodiscovery with type="application/rdf+xml" since it could be any alternate RDF, not just RSS: if Atom breaks the ice with "feed" then RSS 1.0 wins.
'feed' is not really defining a /relation/, it's defining a sort of meta-content-type... But I would much prefer that to forcing 'alternate' on non-'alternate' links.
