Why not support hyperlinks too?

So besides:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Main Atom feed" href="/xml/index.atom">

also:

<a rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" href="/xml/index.atom">Main Atom feed</a>

Most webpages already have a hyperlink to the feed, so they'd only need to add two attributes. It would be a waste to have to duplicate the information in the document head.
