If someone said to me you can check an entry's profile via an
atom:link/@rel='profile' I would say 'ok, that's fine' (soon followed by
'what should I do if all the other metadata isn't there?'). If it's
truly abuse the registrar can trap it and tell you to use something else.
The reason to pick a dedicated element instead is if the WG wants to set
a precedent on how the format is to be extended (we have multiple points
of extension and no guidance as to how to choose between them).
Otherwise I think atom:link will be ok.

Hmm.. the more I think about this and the more we discuss it, the less I
think I like link[rel="profile"]. While the URI of the profile
reference should be dereferenceable, most of the time the profile value
is going to be used as an identifier.
<entry>
<x:profile>http://example.com/profiles/weblog</x:profile>
<x:profile>http://example.com/profiles/podcast</x:profile>
</entry>
This gets the job done. simple, easy, lightweight.
