 After #140677 was fixed in 1.1.60 in Sat, 6 Apr 2002, this feature
 have been disabled as default because adding such tag was ugly for
 console browsers such as links.

I use the browser w3m-el, which is a text browser that uses the
console browser w3m as the back end.  It does not display LINK
metadata at the top of the page; instead it has the following effects:

- if I use space to scroll down, and I'm at the bottom of the page,
  it goes to the rel=next URL.

- if I use backspace to scroll up, and I'm at the top of the page,
  it goes to the rel=prev URL.

- if I use u, which normally goes from http://foo/bar/baz to
  http://foo/bar/, it instead goes to the rel=toc URL.

When using the html2ps browser, I can use these links to generate a
single printable document of a large document, without having to
specify the URL of every file individually.

These behaviours are enormously useful for reading large documents; if
lynx and links do ugly things with this metadata then I think you
should be complaining to the developers of those programs, not the
content providers (such as debiandoc-sgml).  Probably they should make
the ugliness an option.

Bug#402122: HTML output should include LINK tags in HEAD

Hi,

This bug HTML output should include LINK tags in HEAD is still present
for maint-guide and all other documentation since debiandoc-sgml's
default behavior has been kept so.  

But this program iself is capable to generae such tags.

After 140677 was fixed in 1.1.60 in Sat,  6 Apr 2002, this feature have
been disabled as default because adding such tag was ugly for console
browsers such as links.

Should we change default now?  If I get the list of browser interaction
by bug submitter or by myself, I will change default.

Osamu
