Feedback for "JavaScript License Web Labels":

I wonder whether it is allowed to link to the webpage containing the
table with the 'link' element instead of the 'a' element? If not, I'd
like to propose it hereby.

The example from <http://www.gnu.org/licenses/javascript-labels.html>
(using 'a') is:

> <a href="/about/javascript" rel="jslicense">[…]</a>

Using 'link' it could look like this:

> <link href="/about/javascript" rel="jslicense" title="[…]" />

Why? To "hide" the link.

I understand that it is desirable to inform the visitor about the JS
licensing, but I fear that requiring 'a' makes it harder or even
impossible to use JavaScript License Web Labels in some contexts.

My primary concern is the adoption by CMS. When a CMS ships with
JavaScript and wants to use JavaScript License Web Labels, it could be
very hard to succeed in ensuring that the CMS administrator/themer (who
maybe never heard of JavaScript) does not remove the link (intentionally
or accidentally). A 'link' element could be inserted automatically,
independent of the chosen theme.

What do you think?
