Hi James,

You're right that the differentiation in the content-type is of less
importance but without it there's no way for me to unambiguously
indicate that a resource has both an Atom Feed representation and an
Atom Entry representation. The best I could do is say "This things has
two Atom representations".  Keep in mind that I want to be able to
differentiate the types of alternate representations available without
having to look at any of the other rel keywords.

I understand that this is *what* you want, but I'm still unclear "why."

From where I sit, Kyle's argument makes sense: keep the syntax in content-type, and the semantics in rel-type. This seems both simpler and more consistent with how the web works today. No? Or is there some overriding reason for ignoring rel-type?
