The processing for <link> as far as I am aware is fully defined for all these cases. The processing for Link: is not, despite my feedback requesting such during the development of the current spec for Link:. That, however, is currently outside of the scope of this working group. The point that is being made here is that your CP introduces the problem anew in HTML. If the chairs adopt the proposal as written, I would expect to subsequently file bugs to fix the proposal to actually be well-defined again. (Since I do not think that the proposal is an improvement to the Web, however, I have not spent the time to work out how one would go about doing that yet.) > It's also not specific, it would apply to any new relation that affects > the request being made (like suppressing cookies...).
