Enclosures in Atom?





There must be a way to do this, but I'm not sure how...

RSS 2.0 has the concept of enclosures:

Putting aside all the reasons people might not think enclosures are a good idea, how could something similar be implemented in Atom? Namely, the idea that an entry points to a url that a client may or may not wish to download?

Would the entry have a specific content type different than the common application/xhtml+xml?

Would the entry have a value pointing to the url of the enclosure?

What would the syntax be? Is there an existing example?
