Well yes, that would be a nice way to encode them, but then they'd
only be available to browsers that allowed access to page-level
links. Few do, and even those don't make it easy. We already use
typed links to point to the page's stylesheet and icon, which some
browsers will use and the rest safely ignore; but most other types
of links don't have any browser support at all.
...which means they're safely ignored. So, no change from the present
behavior in 99% of cases, and potentially useful support where it is
supported.
