and rel can, it seems, be anything one wants it to be.


Yeah.  Although you should make your "rel" something that makes sense.

If this is on the homeage of your blog or vlog, then use rel="alternate".  If you are on a "post" of your blog or vlog, then use rel="home".

I know that some people and software are using rel="alternate" everywhere.  I think wordpress, typepad, and some other blogging software WRONGLY does this.

I used rel="banana" just to push the point :-)  (That there's more than just rel="alternate" out there... and you should use what's appropriate... and not wrongly put rel="alternate" everywhere.)
 

Can one use multiple <link> statements to differentiate between,say, text and video feeds?

Yes.

In fact, that's one of the really important use cases for the <link> element.
 

Which of the above would one use for text? screen?


Yes, "screen" would be for your text feed.

Although, if you don't put a "media" attribute, then it automatically defaults to "screen".  (So you don't have to add media="screen")  So... most the feed <link>'s out there are media="screen" by default (even though they don't use the "media" attribute).
 

Presumably one could use the title attribute to specify further details?


The title is meant to be human readable.  (And machines, like your web brower, should completely ignore it.)

You can add machines readable to the "media" attribute, the "type" attribute, the "rel" or "rev" attribute, and the "class" attribute.

(Remember, the "class" attribute is NOT just for CSS styling,... it's for semantics too.)


See ya
