And I think rel="template" should also be dereferenceable (and therefore 
"https"), with the same logic as rel="independent-parent" — that is, in 
any case where you don't have the original style, you need to use the 
value as a locator.

Once you've installed a style, directly or indirectly (via 
independent-parent), you have the id, which you can use as a unique 
identifier.
