That is a good point. If it were allowed, the fact that
aggregators privilege `alternate` links might have led
people to declare resources as alternates that aren’t.

(Linkblogs do just that, but that’s another windmill…)

Ugh.

(Note that speaking both in a pure semantic sense and in a
pragmatic sense, for this particular use case I really do
consider `alternate` to be the appriopriate relation.)
