+1 if it is extended to support "alternate" as well when the feed really is the alternate version of the page. That would be a requirement for page authors. Feed readers don't have to check that
and can fetch every feed with either a "feed" or "alternate" REL attribute value.
I don't understand what the "feed" relation indicates. What benefit does it have over
<a href="..." type="application/atom+xml">...</a>
?
That it can be used for *any* feed regardless its MIME type.
Another advantage is that I can say: 'Look, an <a href="link" type="application/atom+xml">Atom feed</a> that is well-formed', without making feed readers discover it.
