What I mean is that "being syndication feed" is not a property of a

I agree, in principle. Unfortunately, for autodiscovery we have to
have a
mechanism that can advertise what the syndaication feeds are without
requiring the UA to fetch every link, because fetching every link
would
be much slower (and on some networks, fiscally more expensive).
I'd like to suggest a possible solution that would address these two
issues at the same time. The type attributes allows for parameters
after the mime type. So what about this:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml;role=feed"
src="...">
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml;role=entry"
src="...">
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml;role=edit"
src="...">
If the type parameter "role" is not present, "role=feed" would be
implied.
