yea. html even gives us a simple way to do this: the alt link in the
document head.

<head>
  <link rel="alternate" type="text/calendar" title="DAV"
href="/dav/bcm/mystuff/">
  <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom 1.0"
href="/atom/1.0/bcm/mystuff/">
  <link rel="alternate" type="application/morsecode" title="Morse
Code" href="/morsecode/bcm/mystuff/">
</head>
