It's a placeholder, suggest something more appropriate and I will change
it.
Currently the implementation is incomplete (and qpid specific) and so I
didn't want to use something in the "amqp" space. When this
implementation completely implements the "standard" in [1] I'd expect to
use amqp.selector as the key. It is true that I'm trying hard to ensure
that any selector in the current implementation won't change it's
meaning when the implementation is finished, but I may screw that up.

I think this starts to get more cumbersome than necessary, I'd say just
use a different link property name for a different type of
selector/filter. viz:
....link:{amqp.selector:\"bal=foo\", otherfilter:\"another spec here
\"}...
