For the purpose of discussion, here’s how I’d do that now:

    <entry>
        <title>The Atom Syndication Format</title>
        <link href="http://del.icio.us/url/longhashvaluehere"/>
        <link rel="related" href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4287"/>
        <content type="xhtml"><div xmlns="...">
            <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4287"/>The Atom Syndication 
Format</a>:
            An alternative to RSS2.
        </div></content>
        <category term="rfc"/>
    </entry>

It bugs me to repeat the link in the content, but the all-around
absence of support for `related` links requires this sort of hack
to make the feed useful with today’s aggregators. Even then, such
a feed would not be useful as a Live Bookmark in Firefox.
