Mark,
overall I think this is a good thing. However, I am concerned that this
would allow for a bunch of new link relations to be used in Atom without
a clear understanding of their meaning in that context. For instance,
"index: refers to an index" is not exactly clear and the description in
HTML 4.01 doesn't help either "Refers to a document providing an index
for the current document." It is an index of the Atom entry or of the
content? It's not a showstopper, of course, but it is something that
should be considered.

Hello Atom-ers,
I'd like opinions on the draft below; it proposes some changes to
facilitate alignment of the HTML and Atom link relation values and
registries, so that we don't have format-specific link relations.
Feedback has been positive so far (mostly on the HTTP list, also in W3C
circles), but since this changes the registry (and otherwise is so
directly related to Atom), it's important that there's buy-in here as well.
Comments?
