If it isn’t obvious from the start what it means that there’s an alternative-link for a via link or a previous or next link, then clients will have to support each of these use case separately. So on the implementor’s end, there’s no discernible difference between the pain of supporting either approach. Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
