It seems like a simpler intepretation for a <LINK> tag that the browser
does not know what to do with is to say that it does nothing.
<LINK> tags today are used in the <HEAD> to indicate fairly static
relationships. They don't mean the same thing as <A> and they appear
in a different context, so having one default to the other worries
me.
