The only portion of Steve's reply that conflicts with mine (from your 
quote) is the bias you inferred.  Steve will have to reply as to his 
intent there.

5.2.3.4 says that the interaction model header is optional, via bullet 3 
other cases unconstrained.
So clients can omit the header, and the server will do whatever it does 
... no interop "guarantee".

My bias, where we have a choice between an example that works 
interoperably and one that does not, is "clearly" toward using the one 
where the spec provides the strongest guarantee of interop.  Here, adding 
the rel=type header transforms the request from May-space into Must-space, 
so I say add it consistently and do the right thing for the readers 
learning this as new content.
