I disagree that it's > necessarily the IANA's fault. The SVG issue is a nice example for that.

Does this also mean that IANA is planning on running the link-rel registry the same way these other registries have been run? Is there any reason to believe that the link-rel registry will be any more or less successful than these other registries. / Jonas
