That seems very speculative. Does any UA actually do anything like this, with <link>s or anything else? > I guess I don't understand what you're asking for the spec to do. Do you > want to drop the type="" attribute altogether? No, I just thought this particular requirement should be "should" instead of "must". Or should be dropped entirely, since it seems very vague to me and I'm not clear what real-world scenario it addresses. But it doesn't really matter and isn't worth spending time arguing over if you don't agree.
