I agree.

Yes.
And I always reconfigure it to be start instead of index, so the links with 
LinkType start refer to a document called start and links with LinkType index 
refer to a document called index.
It's...
Options +MultiViews
DirectoryIndex start
...in my .htaccess

I disagree. I use them :-)
Or what did you mean? ;-)

I often use them as fragments.
Though I must say that currently, only Mozilla always handles my <link/>. 
Opera can handle <link/> elements, but doesn't like links pointing to 
fragments of the same document.

I like <link/> and @rel and @rev verymuch. I think their power is very much 
underestimated. If Internet Explorer would support and Microsoft would 
promote <link/>, navigation could be so much easier on many sites.
