Relax requirement for mandatory `type` links #335

Open jerstlouis opened 10 months ago

Requirement 4 B states:

All links SHALL include the rel and type link parameters.

Recent updates in Features Editor's Draft seems to have relaxed that requirement to strictly apply for specific rel such as self and alternate.

I believe that in general type should not be mandatory to support types through content negotiations where a large number of alternatives might be available.

Related to #160.
