I understand that this is *what* you want, but I'm still unclear "why."

 From where I sit, Kyle's argument makes sense: keep the syntax in  
content-type, and the semantics in rel-type.  This seems both simpler  
and more consistent with how the web works today. No?  Or is there  
some overriding reason for ignoring rel-type?
