It'll be used by people as a pattern, no doubt, so doesn't hurt to cover the bases, especially as a turtle representation is included in the spec.
Presumably an endpoint which uses conneg to serve RDF/XML when the resource is requested is a reasonable alternative?
(assuming the consuming application indicates that it accepts application/rdf+xml [which I guess it should, as RDF/XML is a required part of the WebID spec])
rel=“alternate” is, after all, a crutch for when the server hasn't sent a resource in the format you wanted in the first place, so good if the situation where it can do that from the outset is covered.
