Depending on your web-site, it is preferred to start with the well-known-location. The link-tag is only there for sites like geocities that have thousands of users with different setups. It would be overkill for them to maintain a single policy reference file. But in your case, as you already said, this is the opposite. If you see that P3P implementations don't support the well-known-location or the header-mechanism, please report that here.
