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.
