--- Comment #10 from Ian 'Hixie' Hickson <ian@hixie.ch> 2011-12-09 20:26:38 UTC ---
The decision is to replace this paragraph:

"HTTP Link: headers, if supported, must be assumed to come before any 
links in the document, in the order that they were given in the HTTP 
entity header. (URLs in these headers are to be processed and resolved 
according to the rules given in the relevant specification; the rules of 
this specification don't apply.) [HTTP] [WEBLINK]"

By these two paragraphs:

"HTTP Link: header fields, if supported, must be assumed to come before 
any links in the document, in the order that they were given in the HTTP 
message. These header fields are to be processed according to the rules 
given in the relevant specifications. [HTTP] [WEBLINK]

Note: registration of relation types in HTTP Link: header fields is 
distinct from HTML5 link types, and thus their semantics can be 
different from same-named HTML5 types."

with "HTML5 link types" being a cross-reference.

In the WHATWG copy the wording of the second paragraph will have to be slightly
different, obviously.
