<p>Besides an author, each Atom feed or entry can have an arbitrary number of contributors. <span class="application">Universal Feed Parser</span> makes these available as a list.</p>

<p>Besides an alternate link, each Atom feed or entry can have an arbitrary number of other links. Each link is distinguished by its <tt class="sgmltag-attribute">type</tt> attribute, which is a MIME-style content type, and its <tt class="sgmltag-attribute">rel</tt> attribute.</p>
