I really think autodiscovery shouldn't use the link relation at all:

<title>Welcome to my blog</title>
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" href="feed.atom"
title="Subscribe to the Atom Feed" />

<title>My dummy entry</title>
<link rel="start" type="text/html" href="/" title="This blog's home page" />
<link rel="start" type="application/atom+xml" href="feed.atom"
title="Subscribe to this blog's Atom Feed" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" href="dummy.atom" />


Why not use the "media" attribute?
<link rel="whatever" type="application/atom+xml" href="feed.atom"
media="subscribe" />
<link rel="whatever" type="application/rdf+xml" href="feed.rdf"
media="subscribe" />
If you have feeds dedicated to some media (mainly screen –full content
or video enclosures–, handheld –summary-only or title-only, or
low-quality enclosures– or aural –audio-only enclosures–), add that
media in the comma-separated list:
<link rel="whatever" type="application/atom+xml" href="articles.atom"
media="subscribe" />
<link rel="whatever" type="application/atom+xml" href="videos.atom"
media="subscribe, screen" />
<link rel="whatever" type="application/atom+xml" href="audio.atom"
media="subscribe, aural" />
I'm not sure how the comma-separated values should be interpreted in
HTML (subscribe OR aural, or subscribe AND aural?), it might be better
to replace the previous list values with a single "parameterized"
value (e.g. "subscribe audio", "subscribe video", "subscribe text",
"subscribe audio video", etc.)
