Re: [apps-discuss] request to register 'describes' link relation (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wilde-describes-link-01)

  http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-snell-additional-link-relations-05.txt

This one has been there for a while. I followed the same advice you just
gave dret and changed it to informational and cleaned up the normative
references. Pretty basic draft.
