Aloha Andy, et al,
Use cases for alternates could be as follows:
1. Amazon.com page on a book with alternate versions, e.g.,
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0789723107/ref=cm_cr_pr_orig_subj
2. TED.com talks, which include links to mp4, zipped mp4 and itunes,
e.g.,
Hello Microformaters,
* A user-agent could at the least identify one or more alternate
formats for the current item or a linked item.
* It could also identify the order of preference of alternates.
* This could be used by microformat-aware search to provide search
result links to alternates.

Thank you. That explains what alternates are; but not how the proposed

Aloha,
Interesting that alternates was brainstormed in terms of hItem as
mentioned previously in the thread, but also could and perhaps should
initially apply to citation. If I understand the citation discussion

Hi Jeff,
Alternates was an exploration of a particular pattern that really

Aloha folks,
There hasn't been much lately regarding the 'alternates'
discussion[1]. It seems that in the HTML spec[2], 'alternate' is meant
as something the user can choose between, i.e., style sheets[3],

i.e., objects[4].
