Hi Christian,

this is great input.  Let me pick out two items here:

>  * Can there be a Location-Query option in a registration response?
>    (Probably not, we just didn’t say that.)

Why not?
(Sorry, I missed out on responding to Jim’s earlier message on this.
I’m trying to find out why we need to restrict the server’s flexibility in choosing the URI here.
Maybe there is a good reason, I’d just like it to be more explicitly stated.)

> Ceterum censeo RFC6690 esse revidendam.

Well, the general feeling was that instead of going for a 6690bis, we maybe want to let the link-format just fade out (In favor of links-json/-cbor).

>  * Production and parsing of invalid RFC6690 (which link attributes
>    need to be quoted, 

Right.  I think we really should be following RFC 8288 here and asking implementations to be robust to the misguided “this attribute needs to be quoted” decisions we made in RFC 6690.

Maybe we can put a few updates to 6690 in links-json?
