There is something we can do about it--we can build a few more values into the initial registry which are likely to get created (though perhaps as URIs rather than, or in addition to, in the registry--leading to duplication).

The risk is the opposite of naming collision--multiple names for the same thing.
This is a problem for any format that's extensible in a decentralized manner. There's nothing we can do about it.
The draft doesn't list a lot of rel values because we couldn't come to consensus on them. There's no reason to get bogged down in this discussion. There's a registry. People will use it.
