I'd be careful of this.  A primary use case for alternates is to vary
on Accept-Encoding -- while modern browsers "all" do gzip, there are
intermediaries that need uncompressed objects.  So, serving the same
compressed/uncompressed object to everyone may be problematic.

Vary: User-Agent is bad, but, there is some value to the alternate concept.
