We had a discussion recently about this very aspect of the spec, which concluded that there is no reason that extension elements would be disallowed inside atom:link. So per the spec, consumers should expect that extension elements may appear inside atom:link. I do agree that a Simple Extension Element (or several) would be the logical choice for this particular use case, as they offer defined semantics for attaching metadata directly to an entry.
