I like that it is vague enough to be used on a case-by-case basis, but I don't
understand why it has been reworded for this second registration.
The original description was:
"Refers to a parent document in a hierarchy of documents."
This wording was chosen to fit with the other wordings:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/link-relations/link-relations.xhtml
Was the description reworded to match a rewording of the other related
registrations?

I was aware of this definition when I made the registration request, which
probably accounts for the choice of "a" instead of "the" — however, I am
agnostic on the issue.
