Rel=alternate is NOT appropriate in Wikipedia, because it implies that the
target is a translation of the same writing. The WP language links point to
independent writing, which has been selected as the nearest other-language
equivalent; occasionally it is a translation, but often it varies greatly in
scope and content.

But it might be appropriate in a wiki with a different authoring model (e.g.,
maybe on Wikisource, which translates original documents), so shouldn't the
software accommodate this as an admin-configurable setting?
