Yep, though there are kind-of architectural patterns in these Paces,
so I think it may be possible to keep it in the confines of <link> and
break it down a little to get consensus on parts. There are only a few
(in principle, broadly) orthogonal questions, first pass -

* which link rel values should be refactored out into elements in
their own right?

* should [whatever remains of] link have its semantics narrowed? 
(e.g. to "things on which a GET might work", other groupings or totally removed)

* should [whatever remains of] link be used as an extension point?
(later - what relation naming mechanism should be used?) 

Not sure how they can be massaged in with the process though...

Cheers,
Danny.
