Anyone know of any prior art?


<link rel="alternate" type="application/xml" />


Is that valid inside the HTML <body> block?


No, but <a rel="alternate" type="application/xml">foo</a> is.

RTFS: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/types.html#type-links.


Excellent - thanks Mark and Ryan! I didn't realise that the "type" attribute was valid on <a> elements.

Does that require that we serve the XML with the application/xml MIME type? The spec calls the type attribute an "advisory hint"; I'm not sure whether this means it has to be correct, or only that it has to be close enough (e.g. to text/xml or application/something+xml) to let a reader know that the linked resource is XML.

Cheers,
Phil
