 Again, you can omit the tag if the attribute accessor symbol matches the name of the attribute.

+    <feed xml:lang="en-US" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
+      <id>tag:all-the-episodes.heroku.com,2005:/tv_shows</id>
+      <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://all-the-episodes.heroku.com"/>

+    </feed>
+
+In this case you would need to map an element to a new Link class just to access its attributes, except that there is an alternate syntax. Instead of
+
+    class Feed
+    # ....
+      has_many :links, Link, :tag => 'link', :xpath => '.'
+    end
+
+    class Link
+      include HappyMapper
+
+      attribute :rel, String
+      attribute :type, String
+      attribute :href, String
+    end
+
+You can drop the Link class and simply replace the has_many on Feed with
+
+    element :link, String, :single => false, :attributes => { :rel => String, :type => String, :href => String }
+
+You can omit the :single => false for elements that only occur once under their parent.
+
+This syntax is most appropriate for elements (with attributes but no content) that only occur at only one level of the heirarchy. If `<feed>` contained another element that also contained a `<link>` (as most atom feeds do) it would be DRY-er to use the first syntax, with a separate `Link` class.

 ## Class composition
 
 Our address has a country and that country element has a code. Up until this point we neglected it as we declared a `country` as being a `String`.
