I was going to suggest using owl:sameas (http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-ref/#sameAs-def) between xhtmlvocab:alternative and rdfs:seeAlso but then I see: "The property rdfs:seeAlso specifies a resource that might provide additional information about the subject resource." http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/CR-rdf-schema-20000327/#s2.3.4 I think this is different to a page that supplies the equivalent page in a different language. It is not additional information, but the same information in a different language. So I think rel="alternative" really is the correct relation, and rdfs:seeAlso would be misleading.
