We probably need something more modern as a reference here :)

Here's the HTML Living Standard:
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/semantics.html#the-link-element

"If the rel attribute is used, the element is restricted to the head
element."

This is part of a non-normative content (a note), so I think we're off the
hook here :)

The HTML Imports
spec<http://www.w3.org/TR/custom-elements/#enqueuing-and-invoking-callbacks>contains
the following example:

Sure. Nothing precludes the author from using custom elements in HEAD.
