can I use rel=alternate on an <a> tag to link to alternate versions in other languages? http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-alternate#alternate_language_versions

tantek: which was kind of the same issue that you brought up with "home alternate" - "alternate" means an alternate representation of a specific page - not a link to something related

thus I should rephrase when I said "'alternate' is the correct use" - more accurately, "alternate" is the *modern* use.

<link href="a" rel="thing"><link href="a" rel="alternate"> will turn into { "a": { "rels": ["thing", "alternate"] } }

uhm rel alternate doesn't seem to be what I need. I can use alternate for my i18n pages but not for the discovery I want.

tantek: No, the problem is distinct. rel="home stylesheet alternate" is ambiguous. rel="home-alternate stylesheet" (or one of the other two possibilities) is not.

alternate implies that the destination URL is an alternate version of the *current* page

Yeah, alternate specifically defines itself as changing meaning depending on other factors: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/links.html#rel-alternate
