You don't embed LINK in an <a href=...> .

There is a <LINK> element which takes all of the same
attributes (including href) as the <A> element.

The <LINK> element is only supported by a couple of browsers,
so there is no good reason to use right now, unless you
are writing context-sensitive help for an SCO system.

I am currently working on a discussion paper, that will
eventually be submitted as an Internet Draft, on the 
subject of hypertext links in HTML, use of the <LINK>
element, REL and REV attribute values and meanings,
and suggestions for additional attributes and elements.

This paper is currently being reviewed by various members
of the HTML Working Group.  I will be publishing it to 
this mail list for broader review real soon now.

Murray
