This looks like a harmful feature to me - and given that IE doesn't implement it, we probably don't have to either. Anything that takes additional server configuration and makes a pages dysfunctional when opened from file:/// adds confusion. And there doesn't seem to be any benefit.

Note this language from HTML4: "This section only applies to user agents conforming to versions of HTTP that define a Link header field. Note that HTTP 1.1 as defined by [RFC2616] does not include a Link header field (refer to section 19.6.3)." HTML5 doesn't mention the link header field, as far as I can tell.
