Following up since there have been no comments about this; the MODS 
Editorial Committee is trying to figure out how to proceed and we would 
appreciate feedback. The proposed solution is as follows (pasted from 
http://bit.ly/AtfaIZ):

> Embedding presentational markup within MODS records is out of scope of 
> what MODS--as a data format--intends to accomplish and contradicts the 
> widely followed best-practice of separating content from presentation. 
> Furthermore, adding support for (X)HTML elements in the MODS schema 
> would force all implementers to account for any and all elements in 
> the HTML namespace.
>
> The committee has come up with a possible solution that involves the 
> definition of two new attributes, tentatively named altFormat and 
> contentType.
>
> Use the altFormat attribute to link out of the record to the same 
> content, formatted or marked up in a different way. Optionally, 
> include the contentType attribute with a media-type as its value (e.g. 
> text/html) to indicate the content type of the target. Where there are 
> multiple alternatives, use the already defined altRepGroup attribute 
> to bind the related instances of each element.
>
> Example:
> <abstract altRepGroup="A" altForm="http://foo.edu/alternate-markup.html" contentType="application/xhtml+xml"/>
> <abstract altRepGroup="A">l'histoire d'un cheval et un garçon qui aimait</abstract>

All best,
Jon
