In following with the example below, one idea I toyed with was to include an ID attribute on the link. Links with the same ID were different representations of the same resource:
<link rel="enclosure" type="audio/mpeg" href="show1.mp3" id="ID1" /> <link rel="enclosure" type="application/ogg" href="show1.ogg" id="ID1" /> <link rel="enclosure" type="audio/x-speex" href="show1.spx" id="ID1" /> <link rel="enclosure" type="audio/mpeg" href="show2.mp3" id="ID2" /> <link rel="enclosure" type="application/ogg" href="show2.ogg" id="ID2" /> <link rel="enclosure" type="audio/x-speex" href="show2.spx" id="ID2" /> In this example, there are two resources (ID1 and ID2) but each has three different representations. Would this work for your system? This was only a suggestion; there was no sanctioned WG resolution.

The basic idea is simple: <link rel="enclosure" type="audio/mpeg" href="show.mp3" /> <link rel="enclosure" type="application/ogg" href="show.ogg" /> <link rel="enclosure" type="audio/x-speex" href="show.spx" /> However, there is currently no mechanism to specify that these enclosures are all equivalent, and that the client should pick only one of them. Clients which automatically download closures will probably take all three. There was just recently discussion about an extension that would allow specifying such subtleties; but I don't know what the status of James' I-D is.
