Specs *and* publishers/consumers/implementations of rel-enclosure exist (see 
aforementioned wiki page). And the name is based on re-using the existing term 
with the same semantic from the Atom spec.

Sorry but the paint on that bikeshed dried a long time ago in an IETF working 
group far away. ;)

I object to rel="enclosure" purely on naming grounds.  It is completely
unintuitive.  I don't find the fact that a spec exists for it a compelling
reason to use it.  (Specs exist for lots of things, many of them bad.)
