This is interesting because the description really depends on audience.
I agree with you: perhaps better language for rel-enclosure should be
"By adding rel='enclosure' to a hyperlink, a page indicates that the
destination of that hyperlink is not meant to be viewed by the client
browser." However, this implies a more technical understanding of HTTP
than the average person (or amateur web developer) has. For those
people, "viewing" and "downloading" a file are very different. While the
language should change, perhaps some language somewhere should reflect
this difference in audience.
My issue with the language is secondary. The enclosure is an attachment to
the document and the wording should reflect that. Staying to the e-mail
metaphor it could be "By adding rel='enclosure' to a hyperlink, a page
indicates that the destination of that hyperlink is an attachment to the
current page".
