Hmmm... I just took a look at the html documents and I can't find
anything that makes such a strong claim about either the meaning of
LINK or REL. If you have one handy, I'd appreciate it if you would
pass me a URL that might explain things a bit more clearly. Thanks.
(I was looking at the documents descending from
http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/HTML.html)
Personally, I don't really care how it is expressed as long as the user
(or his/her/its) viewer can know that they are about to fetch copyrighted
documents or what happens if they make further copies of things that
they have fetched.

I'd like it in the headers so the client can read it using a HEAD. It's nice
to know, or at least, to be able to know, before transfering the document
itself.

You lost me on that one.
