Not necessarily, as LINK elements could be used by other tools besides
conventional browsers e.g. off-line browsers, robot sofware, e-book
generation tools, etc.

All of these could benefit from some way of scoping portions of a Web
site (add this part of the Web site to my PDA / off-line browser or
index only this part where part is defined by following a chain of
LINK=next or beneath a LINK=child.

BTW would it my nice if LINK=Next elements were added to linked files
created automatically by, for example, the PowerPoint to HTML conversion
program.
