Is there anything wrong with

<link rel=alternate media=print href="foo.ps" 
type="application/postscript">
<link rel=alternate media=print href="foo.html" type="text/html">

?

The TYPE attribute covers that.

No, it's not:

<link rel=alternate href=index.print.html type="text/html" media=print>
<link rel=alternate href=index.aural.html type="text/html" media=aural>

Aside from HTML, other document types can be rendered on multiple media.  
For example, Word documents and PDF documents are each suitable for both 
print and screen media.
