could we have @href and then also @idref ... then when we mean
to provide a dereferenceable uri we can put it in @href, and
when we want to provide an ID reference we can put it in
@idref. We can even put both into a link, and if the @href
returns a 404 or otherwise indicate it is not the thing being
sought, then we could try querying an ID resolver to find the
new location.

It would make more sense to me to say that a particular type of
@rel value always expects a dereferencable URI or never expects
on. “in-reply-to” would be in the latter category.

+1. Atom 1.0 does not require link href to be dereferencable. It should fall on the definition of the @rel attribute as to whether or not href can actually be dereferenced.
