If it's known to be some other type, like text/css, then it should fail. Alternatively, it should work for everything that doesn't actually fetch a resource automatically. After all, the rationale for this whole change is that "" as a source for images and such 1) makes no sense and is almost certainly an authoring mistake, and 2) causes extra HTTP requests -- but neither is true for all <link>s. For instance, <link rel=first href=""> makes perfect sense and causes no extra requests, so I don't think it should be prohibited.
