Has it been decided whether this group should recommend that link types be reserved for phonetic and abbreviation dictionaries? This is a separate issue from Al's LINK and META proposals, though the two are of course related. If descriptions of tables and other components of the document are also needed, as discussion on the IG list indicates, then a link type would need to be set aside for this purpose as well. My personal opinion is that these issues should be left for future consideration as part of the WAI Formats and Protocols activity. Those link types (and class types) which prove to be useful can be described in WAI markup guidelines and incorporated into a future version of the HTML specification if desired. Perhaps media types, link types and standardised class names should all be treated in a separate W3C specification, which could serve as an addendum to the HTML and CSS specifications.
