I don't understand what you mean by "equivalent of this section but for 
this registry".

What's needed is referenceable text that fully describes the metadata 
you want to add to the link relations registry. Yes, that can be a 
section within a larger spec (if this was your question).

In particular it should have sufficient detail so that people defining 
new link relations can understand what to set the value to. So, for 
example, in this case it would need to answer why you would ever want to 
define a link relation and have it *not* allowed in an HTML <link> 
element (see 
<http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/link-relations/current/msg00002.html>).
