In the current link draft, relations shouldn't have dependencies on
the media types of what's linked to, and it looks like both the
request and response content is constrained in this proposal.
Why not use an extension relation type (i.e., unregistered URL)
instead of a registered one? That allows the protocol to define things
much more closely, because it will "own" the relation type.
Cheers,

General Request for Assignments (link-relations)
Contact Name :
Brett Slatkin
Type of Assignment :
I want to add a new Atom Link Relation type for the PubSubHubbub
protocol
(http://pubsubhubbub.googlecode.com). The relation type is "hub".
Registry :
http://www.iana.org/assignments/link-relations/link-relations.xhtml
Description :
The new is used for discovery of Hubs,
which enables real-time notifications of entries in Atom and RSS
feeds.
Without making the relation type official, we're not in compliance
with the
Atom spec.
