Um, both of those and especially the second are valid aren't they? The 
problem is that the types we need to define are a layer above this. eg 
type(MIME)=text/xml and then type(content)=RSS 2.0

Looking at the html4 spec, there's a mechanism to define new 
rel=link-types. So we could say rel="meta" or rel="metaindex" as long as 
that is defined in a <head profile="URI">. The problem here is 
mime-types. We've been playing fast and loose with mime types for years 
but it still hasn't got us to application/xml+rss_2.0
