Subject: Potential Issue: Section 4.2.2 atom:link

Reading through the current draft I note that in section 4.2.2
referring to the atom:link element, there is the following
restriction:

   atom:head elements MUST NOT contain more than one atom:link element
   with a rel attribute value of "alternate" that has the same type
   attribute value.

My question is: what if I want to offer two alternates of the same
type that use different languages? e.g.

   <atom:link rel="alternate" type="text/html" hreflang="en" href="..." />
   <atom:link rel="alternate" type="text/html" hreflang="fr" href="..." />

I'm not sure if this is an unreasonable thing to do or not but it did
strike me as being potentially problematic.
