Here's some info on rel-prefetch:
(I believe the term "prefetch", in this case, comes from SMIL. And is somewhat meant to mimic it's usage.)
On this page, the info is pertaining to using rel-prefetch is with the HTML <link> element.
However, like with all usage of the "rel" and "rev" attributes. It can be equally applied to the <a> element too.
Note (in case it isn't clear), the sematics of each (as I understand them) is as follows:
rel-prefetch: This means: pre-download this. (It says nothing about any extra relation between the target and the document though. Like if it is "attached" or not.)
rel-enclosure: This means: this thing is "attached" to this document. (Often this causes user-agents to pre-download it. But they don't have to. All this says it that the target is attached to the document.)

never seen nor heard of rel="prefetch"
rel="enclosure" is already considered a Microformat.
