The spec as it currently stands precludes other kinds of

The markup in 01 doesn't exactly qualify itself; I said this
about 00. How will another specification indicate support for
another multipart approach - new boolean attribute?

In this case, surprisingly, I think the boolean attribute is
accidentally helpful: with a non-boolean attribute, care would
have to be taken to allow multiple values in the future when more
than one way of multipart processing is specified and collections
can support several of them. With boolean attributes, you just
make up more of them.


<atom:link related="true"   ... />

Don't think anyone here would buy that.
