Re: PROV-ISSUE-36: Section 3.2: Accessing the provenance of HTML documents [Accessing and Querying Provenance]

That you raise this means it clearly needs clarifying in the text.  In the sense 
I intended, <meta> could similarly be used _only_ for documents presented as HTML.

I think a new <meta> tag would require more new specification than builing on 
the <link> work.  Technically, I don't think there's much to choose, but I feel 
that hooking into the link type registry will seem more clear-cut to potential 
users, hence have better take-up.  It's a judgement call.

I am wondering why choosing this option instead of simply using the <meta> tag which is supported by plain HTML. Is there any reason behind this choice? Was it simply because there was a desire to be consistent and use POWDER for accessing both HTTP and HTML resources?
