According to the specs:

: Authors may use the following recognized link types, listed here with their
: conventional interpretations.

I took the "may" as "these are the link types that Authors are permitted to
use" not as "if you wish, you can use these link types".  I suppose this
was a case of misinterpretation. :-)  The use of the term "may" can be
fairly ambiguous and as such it might make sense to modify the statement.
