not only that, but if someone wants to write another extension (gasp!), it
would be very easy to fold it in, using native XML methods...

<link ..>
    <x:alternate y:attribute=".." ...>
        <z:extension .../>
    </s:alternate>
</link>

(not that I can think of any such extensions, but why be a bastard to future
inventors and innovators?)
