Should a <link> tag point directly to a feed?  What about feeds that 
are available in different formats?  Perhaps it might be better to 
have a link tag that points to a standalone page about feeds?  Then 
put link tags on THAT page that point to the various formats that 
might be available?

So perhaps we could suggest:
<LINK rel="syndication" href="http://server/page_about_all_feeds"; /> 
Which would in turn contain:
<LINK rel="rss-0.91" href="http://server/rss-0_91_formatted.xml"; /> 
<LINK rel="rss-0.92" href="http://server/rss-0_92_formatted.xml"; /> 
<LINK rel="rss-1.0" href="http://server/rss-1.0_formatted.xml"; /> 

One for each of the formats made available.  There's scripting news, 
opml, OCS, newsML, ultramode text, etc.

Or will clients be expected to be able to handle the format parsing? 

<LINK rel="rss-feed" href="http://server/rss-0_91_formatted.xml"; /> 
<LINK rel="rss-feed" href="http://server/rss-0_92_formatted.xml"; /> 
<LINK rel="rss-feed" href="http://server/rss-1.0_formatted.xml"; /> 

How do the clients handling LINK tags support multiple elements using 
the same name?
