Hi Gavin, 

I hope you are well. 

Please find  ~3 observations/questions below. 

Regards
Zaid

The draft states the following in section 1:

".... This document describes how an RDAP server can use "Link" HTTP header
   fields in responses to HEAD and GET requests to provide RDAP clients
   with the URL of related RDAP records, without the need for a
   signalling mechanism for the client to tell the server that it is
   only interested in retrieving those URLs.
" .  Note: typo in "signalling"

1- In section 2, titled " RDAP Link Objects ", of draft 
"draft-brown-rdap-referrals", is the work "Link" supposed to equal to "Links" 
as it is stated in [https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9083] section 4.2?

The draft states the following in section 1:

".... This document describes how an RDAP server can use "Link" HTTP header
   fields in responses to HEAD and GET requests to provide RDAP clients
   with the URL of related RDAP records, without the need for a
   signalling mechanism for the client to tell the server that it is
   only interested in retrieving those URLs.
" . 

2- The "Links" RDAP object, as described in 
[https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9083] section 4.2, contains a "value" 
field and a "href" field. Sometimes these two variables have different values. 
Does your draft propose sending both in the HTTP header or only one of them? If 
one of them, which one?

Examples:

1- https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc9083

4.2. Links

The "links" array is found in data structures to signify links to other 
resources on the Internet. The relationship of these links is defined by the 
IANA registry described by [RFC8288].

The following is an example of the link structure:

    {
      "value" : "https://example.com/context_uri";,
      "rel" : "self",
      "href" : "https://example.com/target_uri";,
      "hreflang" : [ "en", "ch" ],
      "title" : "title",
      "media" : "screen",
      "type" : "application/json"
    }

3- In example 2 of point 2 above, does the draft propose returning all the 
links objects as shown in the raw output?
