Skimming through the drafts for a few minutes I find at least these: In HTML5 the tokens are not URIs and are not really URI-references either because they have to be case-insensitively matched (the HTML5 specification is currently wrong on this). (http://www.iana.org/assignments/relation/stylesheet and stylesheet are therefore not equal either.) In HTML5 people can simply provisionally register a new token by putting it on a wiki page. The token does not have to be a URI. (Though it could be a string that is also a URI.) In HTML5 there is no rev "link-param" because (non-academic) studies have shown that people do not really know how to use it. In HTML5 media, hreflang, and sizes (just for <link>) also influence the relationship. Your draft does not have these "link-param"s. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
