Wondering... As Sam says, relations should be generic and types specific. That makes sense for GETtable URis, for example, rel=replies is generic and type would say whether it's a RSS feed or an HTML page with replies. However, what about POSTable URIs? The type attribute, as I understand it, says what data you'll get back, not what data to send. How can you say that a rel=edit link is a URI where you can POST a specific data type, maybe getting text/html in the response?
