No, we are not.

It's entirely possible to do this in a future revision / extension, and we really need to ship this spec.

I'm not convinced that adding things later will work well. I also note
that if we really need to ship this spec, we should try harder to finish
it (this thread started four weeks ago).

Finally, I still think that allowing to map complex fields like "Link"
to this syntax would be good in that it would encourage people to (a)
include the generic SH parser and (b) actually use if for "Link".
