You and I think this issue is important, but I don't think it  
necessarily has to be addressed by the two drafts in question (Link:  
and resource discovery), since neither specifies how a Link: is to be  
translated to RDF. Plausible deniability would say that when we  
convert to RDF we can do as we like, and in particular we can preserve  
the URI.

I could go either way on this and would be happy if you promoted this  
clarification with Eran and Mark. I'm out on too many limbs already...
