Very nice.
One thing I like about the current atom spec, is that the link
relations are in fact urls. The link relations are equivalent to the
urls generated by appending "http://www.iana.org/assignments/
relation/" to the "alternate", "self", ... rel="..." strings.
This is very nice, in that it opens up the possibility of placing
good RDF descriptions of these links at the http://www.iana.org/
assignments/relation/, as well as making the link relation very
extensible (people who want to try out new link relations, can just
use their own, unambiguous url).
I would recommend you adopt that too. Perhaps you can even adopt the
iana name space. If we could get them to put the appropriate rdf
document at that location, people who created/coined new link
relations could describe these relations as being superproperties or
subroperties of relations the browser already knows, which would
allow the browser to partially interpret those.
Just a thought.

The latest WA 1.0 draft covers this as follows:
"If the alternate keyword is used with the type attribute set to
the value application/rss+xml or the value application/atom+xml,
then the user agent must treat the link as it would if it had the
feed keyword specified as well."
http://whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#alternate0
"The feed keyword indicates that the referenced document is a
syndication feed. If the alternate link type is also specified,
then the feed is specifically the feed for the current document;
otherwise, the feed is just a syndication feed, not necessarily
associated with a particular Web page."
