I don't know, but I'm not sure why you think that's what the autodiscovery spec endorses. Is there some part of the spec that endorses that? The autodiscovery spec is for use by UAs like Mozilla and Safari that present little icons alerting the user to a feed version of a page. Often, I never visit the page again, once I've subscribed to the feed. The feed is a substitute. > Note that we are not arguing the semantics of the <link> element in > an Atom document, but the semantics of the <link> element in an HTML > document. Yes, I caught that.
