In today's world, using <link> bears assumptions, such as that it won't run script. We're changing these, and we need to be careful.

<link> doesn't do anything on its own. It only does something when combined with specific values, some of which (e.g. rel=stylesheet) have run script in the past.

Given that this existed in the web for a while, I think we should keep moving forward with <link rel=import>
