Re: [w3c/ServiceWorker] DO NOT MERGE: using better link defaults (#995)

Right, that's explicitly not Bikeshed's model; autolinking is a series of filters, and you can omit any filters that aren't necessary to narrow down the set of possible refs.

That particular situation you describe can indeed be frustrating, but it also appears to be very rare, whereas people wanting to (a) provide a `for` value for disambiguating in the global namespace, while (b) just typing simple, easy autolinks in their local spec is very common, at least in specs I edit.  

In particular, being able to just say `''foo''` to link to the "foo" CSS value, because it only appears on one property in the spec, is great; same with `'desc'` to link to the "desc" descriptor for the at-rule defined in the spec, rather than always having to type `'@foo/desc'` everywhere.  Or in IDL, being able to just say {{appendChild()}} or similar, rather than always having to specify the interface.
