Could you clarify why this would be harmful?

In comment #4 you say there doesn’t seem to be any benefit, but the benefits are huge. Adding support for the Link header (not only supporting rel=stylesheet but also all other valid link relations) would be very useful. Imagine being able to add a stylesheet to a bunch of unstyled static HTML documents without modifying them all.

Full Link header support would also make it possible to have feed-autodiscovery on non-HTML pages (like images, audio, video, plain text files, etc).
