This link relation is also quite common. <link rel="alternate">, combined with either the RSS or Atom media type in the type attribute, enables something called “feed autodiscovery.” It allows syndicated feed readers (like Google Reader) to discover that a site has a news feed of the latest articles. Most browsers also support feed autodiscovery by displaying a special icon next to the URL. (Unlike with rel="stylesheet", the type attribute matters here. Don’t drop it!) +

The rel="alternate" link relation has always been a strange hybrid of use cases, even in HTML 4. In HTML5, its definition has been clarified and extended to more accurately describe existing web content. As you just saw, using rel="alternate" in conjunction with type=application/atom+xml indicates an Atom feed for the current page. But you can also use rel="alternate" in conjunction with other type attributes to indicate the same content in another format, like PDF.
