maybe http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-nottingham-json-home would be a 
good place to register such a relation? while the draft does define a 
specific media type (a JSON one, and 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wilde-home-xml registers a derived XML 
one), the registered relation easily could be (and of course should be, 
like every link relation) made independent of the target's media type.

cheers,

dret.
