There are three possible solutions:1. We ask the WHAT-WG to fix their spec so the ambiguity in the Atom media type is addressed
What ambiguity? There's no ambiguity AFAICT. But the WHAT spec does need fixing. Assuming rel="feed" because of the value of a (non-authoritative!) media type conflates two independent concepts, and as a result may confuse users who are looking for syndication feeds but instead find themselves confronted with non-traditional (non-"feed") Atom documents. If that's fixed, then this should work fine for entries (assuming "alternate" semantics); <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" href="foo.atom" /> There's no need for a new media type. Mark.
