My concern is about change control, not processing. We have an elaborate system for controlling additions to the list of link relations. Why aren't we more explicit with element names in the Atom namespace? I don't particularly care which strategy we settle on, but it's important to be clear. Do we have a situation similar to HTTP headers and methods, where you can extend it as needed, but you had better 'coordinate' if you want to make sure everyone interprets it the same way? That's fine. Or do we have an IETF-administered registry? If we do settle on the looser approach for elements, I suggest we drop the link registry and go with the space-separated lists allowed by HTML. Robert Sayre
