Also, if I read the normative XMDP correctly, what's going on here is that a new 'link type' is being defined--hence, it is usable on the <link> element too, not just hyperlinks? Putting document properties in an <a> element is just weird; I'm going to pull it out of the <a> element in my WordPress CC tool and put a <link rel="license"> in <head>.


<a> elements are useful as humans can see and click on them. This includes authors, who are often surprised when you tell them what is in their <meta> and <link>


I know; I'm not removing the <a> elements. Just checking that it's valid for <link>. I'll add the rel attribute to any element containing an href to the license, since such things (elements that rel is a valid attribute for) don't have child elements, so there's no inheritance happening.
