webgen users - Nov 2009 - Adding links to the head?

Hi,

I see the head content processor can attach JS and CSS elements in the
head of a given page, but what about the <link rel="alternate"? for
RSS and Atom feed auto-discovery? (or for next/up/prev pages, though I
don''t know if that is actually used by browsers)

This is currently not implemented but should be easy to add. What
should be supported by webgen? And how? Any ideas?

Well at least the <link rel="alternate"
type="application/rss+xml"
href="foo/bar/feed.rss" />
Probably a generic metadata syntax for this element is enough, but
since there is already metainfo keys for JS and CSS, maybe specific
ones for the most common use cases as well (rss/atom feeds, maybe
alternate languages (that could be set automatically when there are
several localized versions of the same page), or navigation links
(next/prev by sort_info, up to parent directories?)
