Combining URI Templates and Link-Header?

Hi,

is there any ongoing activity to combine the Link header and URI templates?

IMHO it is not a solution to allow URI templates to occur in place of URIs since that would make it necessary to check for *all* URIs whether they are a template. Instead, a dedicated header (Link-Template) would be needed to enable such use of URI templates.

Is there any significant interest or activity in standardizing such a header (or a similar solution)?

Thanks,

Jan
