I believe the 'index' link type definition isn't quite right, considering prior definitions of the term[1]. It seems to me that 'index' would be more appropriate, given its prior definitions, for linking to things like CSS2.1's list of properties (Appendix F). http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/propidx.html I think that for the hierarchical root, 'top' (which was defined in HTML 3.2) is more appropriate, both historically[2] and by virtue of its English semantics. I also think that 'contents' and 'toc' should not be equated with 'top' because they are not always the same thing. I would expect 'toc' or 'contents' from http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Gecko_DOM_Reference to link to http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Gecko_DOM_Reference but 'top' to link to http://developer.mozilla.org/ , i.e. the homepage of the website.
