that's a different direction, but an interesting one.

What we were thinking was along the lines of saying: here is enclosure in
mp3 format, but it's also available as ogg, wav, and in hreflang="fr-CA" for

it would be fair to say that any two x:alternate with different @href's but
equivalent x:md5 are mirrors. That can fit into the model with no other
modifications :-)
