At http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#type-links, the explanation of
the Alternate link type read "Designates substitute versions for the
document in which the link occurs. When used together with the lang
attribute, it implies a translated version of the document ...."
Shouldn't that say "hreflang attribute"?

Yes. This is even mentioned in the "Errata":
http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/html4-updates/errata#entry-9

(The "Errata" document is not normative. Besides, it's effectively
closed. I don't think they'll ever add anything to it, no matter what
internal inconsistencies might be reported.)
