A few questions:

Is Opensearch using link relations in the RFC 5988 sense? That is, do 
they share the same space of names?

Also, if this is a new relation name, wouldn't "contained-in" or 
something like that be more accurate? (yep, that's bikeshedding)

Finally:

It would be great if there was a single document defining the link 
relation independently of a specific media type.
