Comment:
The type attribute should ammend the Accept header accordingly. HTTP spec is in
accordance with the rules here, in terms of the Accept header being
non-authorative. script and style elements already ammend accept header (in
firefox) but not for other link elements. This behaviour would be valuable for
enabling HTML powered applications which leverage HTTP conneg.
