Two more examples are "generic links" and Enclosures.

A few days ago I called for deprecating the RSS Link module and
followed up with an explanation of how it was broken.  However, I did
oversimplify by omitting that if one *did* want to indicate how a link
should be traversed or present to the user an alternate title than the
destination resource's title, than one would have to use reification
to do so.

The same applies to enclosures.
