Yes, I realize this.  I was merely presenting an alternate syntax to 
James's suggestion.

I think it would be useful as a bridge from one mirror to another.  For 
example, some home pages contain a list of mirror sites.  Moving this list 
into LINK elements would remove navigational clutter from the page while 
providing useful information to search engines.  A menu-driven LINK 
implementation (e.g., AMSD Ariadna's) could make switching to a different 
mirror easy for the user.
