Both of those would probably be best described as "alternate" links.
The second one in particular is what "alternate" was intended to be used
for. However, RFC 4287 contains the following:
o atom:entry elements MUST NOT contain more than one atom:link
element with a rel attribute value of "alternate" that has the
same combination of type and hreflang attribute values.
Furthermore, a link element with no explicit rel attribute is assumed to
be an alternate link, though I think this counts against the maximum of
1 given above.
Consequently I suspect (though have not yet tested) that at least some
feed readers pick the alternate link as the default when there's more
than one. I suspect others pick the first in document order.
Does anyone know how feed readers actually do choose among multiple
possible links in an entry?
