actually.. how about this..

GET /user/23 HTTP/1.1
Host: example.org
Accept: application/rdf+xml

-->

HTTP/1.1 200 Ok
Content-Type: application/rdf+xml
Link: <http://example.org/user/23>; rel="alternate"; type="text/rdf+n3"
Link: <http://example.org/user/23>; rel="alternate";
type="application/rdf+json"

and so forth.. note the URI never changes only the type..
