I've no objection whatsoever to the <link> element being defined in
this way, as long as there is still a uniform means of defining
arbitrary relationships between Atom resources and other resources.
This could be provided by Paul's mechanism (replace 'link construct'
with 'relationship construct' in the definition I offered).

This might just give us the best of both worlds.

Cheers,
Danny.
