If the page is for a person, then the RSS is an alternative. Use the 
Feed autodiscovery syntax makes sense:

http://feedautodiscovery.org/doku.php

but you could apply it to an <a href link instead of a <link one, eg

<a href rel="alternate me" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS feed 
of Ted Drake"
       href="http://example.com/feed.rss" >Ted Drake's feed</a>
