Presumably one would need to add an x:feed="http://mydomain.com/feed"; attribute for translations of entries that appear in other feeds.

Actually I was thinking just a regular href and type. For example:

<link type="application/atom+xml"
 href="http://mydomain.com/feed";
 hreflang="fr"
 x:id="french_entry_id"
 x:updated="2005-11-15T18:30:02X" />

I'm not sure how valid that is considering a client that didn't understand this extension would consider the full feed to be an alternative for that one particular entry which doesn't seem right.

Personally I would have preferred using a fragment identifier. So the above example would look something like this:

<link type="application/atom+xml"
 href="http://mydomain.com/feed#french_entry_id";
 hreflang="fr"
 x:updated="2005-11-15T18:30:02X" />

And a link to an entry within the same feed could be done with a fragment only uri, like this:

<link type="application/atom+xml"
 href="#french_entry_id"
 hreflang="fr"
 x:updated="2005-11-15T18:30:02X" />

But from what I can make out, this sort of thing would only be valid if atom:id was defined to be an ID attribute which would assumedly require an Atom DTD.
