- javajosh 4y agoWow, you're right! Good that it was summarily ignored until now I guess.
- afandian 4y agoI fear we’re getting into xkcd 386 but… As svieira says above, Link is a standard thing. It’s widely used. CSS is even based on it. Another example is ‘canonical’. https://http.dev/link#canonical https://http.dev/link#canonical You may not have encountered it personally, but I don’t think it’s wise to extrapolate from that.
- javajosh 4y agoI've been making websites since 1996 and I've never seen it. Not once.
