I believe few browsers look at LINK; however, I believe REL is allowed
for HREF so one could have something like
<a href=privacy.html rel=privacy>Our Privacy Policy</a>

I'm not sure which robots look at link; mine treats it the same
as anchor (used for discovery but attributes not currently parsed).
