Re: [link-relations] An Internet Draft template for writing a Link Relation specification

We're happy to give advice about what makes a good relation, specification text, etc. here, and asking for that advice early on, rather than last minute, is much preferred. :) 

Generally, though, the discussion of a relation itself should probably happen within the community that's appropriate to it -- whether that's HTML5, uFormats, RDF, etc. We will try to get the right people involved if something starts here, of course, but it's easier when the community hammers out the basics ahead of time, so we're not minting things that aren't connected to running code.

Cheers,
