Yes, it is a bit strange. Each GET request for an offer includes a 
"Location" header that specifies the location that a subsequent POST should 
use to identify a reply to that specific offer. (This way, if the offer 
expires, is responded to, and/or gets replaced in the intervening time, the 
server can correctly identify that the reply should be rejected.)

I admit that this is a considerable departure from the "Location" header's 
customary semantics. I'll probably change it to something like 
"Reply-Location" in a pending revision of the protocol. (I had forgotten 
about the "Link" header, and was using "Location" to mean the same thing, 
minus the crucial attributes of "Link"s.)
