Did you, before saying this, consider that Mozilla also supports link prefetching via http-equiv="link"?

My fist search result for http-equiv="link", was quite interesting ... [2] > I doubt it breaks the Web given that only Opera and Mozilla support > it. I'm fine with dropping it from Opera too. Could we also remove http-equiv="default-style" [3], with the same justification? (No support, except in Opera and Mozilla.) Btw, I slightly disagree with the bug report: [5] Opera an Mozilla's treatment of http-equiv="Link" is quite in line with HTML4's general specification of META: [4] ]] Note. When a property specified by a META element takes a value that is a URI, some authors prefer to specify the meta data via the LINK element.[[ >>> Browsers also support Set-Cookie here: >>> >>> http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=9578 >> >> I feel less strongly about Set-Cookie.
