You weren't the only one (myself included) who thought that. Michael Nelson,
one of the authors if the identifier I-D, just wrote a blog post explaining why
not canonical:

I think I'm convinced that canonical isn't the right fit for what they are
talking about. But if rel=bookmark could be used in <link> elements I think it
would work better than a slightly similar, oddly named, link relation, which
IMHO is bound to cause confusion for web publishers.
