No need to -- I had actually made one on volute, but apparently it never got sent to the RofR.
I've created PR #48 to put that into Datalink, and if whoever merges this sends the record to the RofR right away, we're fine from that perspective for 1.0.

Each IVOA standard is assigned an ivoid for the purposes of reference in other standards documents; DataLink's is ivo://www.ivoa.net/std/DataLink .
By design, the Registry of Registries should contain a VOResource representation of the standards document itself. Currently, the RofR does not include a DataLink resource. (not listed in: http://rofr.ivoa.net/oai?verb=ListRecords&metadataPrefix=ivo_vor&set=Standard). In the volute repository, this was listed in an XML file with extension .vor in the same directory as the TeX and other main documents for the standard. We should have a .vor file in the repository for each document in ivoa-std as we move to GitHub. (RegistryInterface as an example: ivoa-std/RegistryInterface#1)
The ivoa-std DataLink repo should have a .vor file representation at the top level, kept current with the version of DataLink and passed to the maintainers of the RofR.
