Atom Publishing Servers that don't know about this extension that receive an entry containing nested links from a publishing client will most likely drop the content of the link and publish it to clients without the inner link. I don't believe that atom:link isn't usefully extensible other than by creating new @rel values; or if you want something more powerful, use extension elements. Atom's extensibility framework has been touted as one of Atom's major advantages[1] over RSS. Nested link elements sound a bit too much like [2], but without the namespaces constraint.
