Just found this:
http://esw.w3.org/topic/LinkHeader
which is a wiki page written by TimBL, with edits by Roy Fielding,  
dated last December.

The page points to the POWDER suggestion to use Link:, among other  
things.

I'm accumulating the links from this discussion and others that I'm  
tracking down on a wiki page, http://esw.w3.org/topic/ 
FindingResourceDescriptions .
