I have to admit that I'm not an expert on @rel values.
But I think that PaceFieldingLinks is essentially orthogonal to the number of link types predefined in the spec. That could be close to 0, or it could be a rather long list.
I personally think that most if not all link types currently used in the wild shoud be predefined; there is no point in forcing a wave of registrations to IANA for things that we anyway know will be used.
This is similar to how the 'charset' registry was started. For the language tag registry, the base was a pre-existing standard. Having some good examples in the registry from the start will also help future registrants.
