By default. You can render it just fine in practice. Here's a simple
example:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<style>
head,link { display: block }
link::before { content: attr(href) }
</style>
<link href="http://example.org">
Of course if you try that testcase you'll see even more behavior
differences between browsers in terms of whether the <link> is treated
as a link or not...

Please do note
http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/scripting.html#selector-link
for what the HTML spec has to say on the matter.
