One nice property of the webcal: URI scheme is that any user-agent can
reasonably infer the intended use (which is likely to carry the
semantic that the URI will be around for a longer period of time)
simply from the URI. So this URI can simply be included in any sort
document (mail message, text file) without losing that bit of
information. By itself, rel="feed" doesn't provide this.
I just skimmed the slightly (2006) Link header draft after noticing Ian
mentioning it in a recent thread here, and if that were to make it back
into HTTP, it would seem to solve this information loss bit nicely.
