An example would be an HTML page with rel="alternative" links pointing to a feed and an Atom Entry document.
My thought on this is that that's actually broken. If not according to RFC 4287 or anything else, it's most likely wrong semantics involved. Ether the current HTML document is an alternate representation of the Atom Entry, or it is an alternate representation of the Feed.
In any case, the relation type 'feed' would be better suited for the feed reference and 'alternate' would suit the Entry reference if the Entry indeed was an alternate representation of the HTML document.
Alternate representation of web site front pages are typically Feeds, alternate representations of article pages are typically Entries. There's very few cases where a Feed and an Entry can be alternate representations of the same resource.
