Re: "up" relation, was: Fwd: Last Call: draft-nottingham-http-link-header (Web Linking) to Proposed Standard

Hmm. That section would merely be a verbatim repeat of the registry,  
since by definition there isn't any more information to add.

How about adding a note to each of them to indicate it's grandfathered  
in? E.g.,

   Notes: this relation pre-exists this specification, and did not  
indicate a reference.

Cheers,
