Hmmm.. interesting thought, hadn't considered that.

rel="self" should always point to *this* document, and never to some other document, but if the document referenced is the same document just in a different language, then it is possible? Good thinking but I'm not sure if it's legal according to the spec.

 <feed xml:lang="de">
   ...
   <link rel="self"
         hreflang="fr"
         href="http://.../thefeed?lang=fr";
   <link rel="self"
         hreflang="de"
         href="http://.../thefeed?lang=de";
   <entry>
     <id>tag:example.org,2005:some_entry</id>
     ...
   </entry>
 </feed>

To indicate that the feeds were translations of one another, a

<feed xml:lang="fr">

        hreflang="de"
        href="http://.../thefeed?lang=de";
  <entry>

    ...

Is that even necessary? Wouldn’t @rel='self' already work here?
