Why not just use <atom:link rel='alternate' href='...'/> at both the feed and entry levels? In our data repository systems (based on AtomPub), both collections and collection members are content negotiable resources. I.e., you can retrieve an Atom, HTML or JSON representation, by specifying different preferences in the Accept request header. In addition to this content negotiation at the collection or member URI, each variant representation also has a URI, and links are provided in entry and feed representations to all variant representations via the 'alternate' link relation. E.g., GET /foo Host: example.org Accept: application/atom+xml 200 OK Content-Type: application/atom+xml;type=feed Content-Location: http://example.org/foo?format=atom Vary: Accept <atom:feed xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"> <atom:link rel="self" href="http://example.org/foo"/> <atom:link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://example.org/foo?format=html"/> <atom:link rel="alternate" type="application/json" href="http://example.org/foo?format=json"/> ... <atom:entry> <atom:link rel="edit" href="http://example.org/foo/bar"/> <atom:link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://example.org/foo/bar?format=html"/> <atom:link rel="alternate" type="application/json" href="http://example.org/foo/bar?format=json"/> ... </atom:entry> </atom:feed> FWIW, this is implemented using a generic content negotiation plugin for AtomBeat [1], sorry no documentation as yet.
