Yes, the extensibility point should be documented.

But no, rev should be documented. RFC 2068 already defines what it is, 
so the only thing an extension could ever do is to re-introduce that 
definition.

There may be good reasons to *discourage* it's use, but that's really 
different from not defining it at all.

I think we should park this issue until we know what happens with the 
anchor parameter; after all, a link relation using rel= can always be 
rewritten into one using anchor=.
