Just from my experience, the issue of how pre-fetching
relates to
enclosures needs alot of work.  (It's not just for the
rel-enclosure
Microformat... but enclosurs in RSS and Atom too.)

Enclosures are just things that a "part of" that
thing.  It says
nothing about pre-fetching.

However... many things take an "enclosure" to
mean: prefetch this.

Some things, however, should be downloaded at the last
possible
minute.  (Even if that are "part of" that thing.)


See ya
