This is beautifully terse.  I have three suggestions:

I could clarify the meaning of the type using the definition from HTML[1]:
"    This attribute gives an advisory hint as to the content type of the 
content available at the link target address. It allows user agents to opt 
to use a fallback mechanism rather than fetch the content if they are 
advised that they will get content in a content type they do not support.
     Authors who use this attribute take responsibility to manage the risk 
that it may become inconsistent with the content available at the link 
target address.
     For the current list of registered content types, please consult 
[MIMETYPES]."

I would add the same verbiage with s/type/length/g for the 
length, and I would add a formal definition of enc:length as an XML Schema 
nonNegativeInteger[2]
