I think another pro of this option is that it would allow intent declarations to be placed in the <head> section, without the need to change the HTML parse algorithm. This type of declaration fits very well with the <head> section, so I think this is a strong advantage. Yet another pro is: no need to introduce a new HTML element. > Cons: > * link rel has become a dumping ground for these type of usages.

Additional HTML attributes can be defined in a separate spec, just like additional HTML elements. So I think this Con is based on a misconception. Thus, I'd suggest giving more consideration to <link rel="intent">, instead of a new element. Regards, Maciej
