I feel like that might be an oversight in HTML -- if all of the relation types except for one has a particular form of link target?
@annevk?
Overall though, yes, we should update the links to point to WHATWG HTML.
The others are derived from the heading. This one had its own ID since 2010: https://github.com/whatwg/html/commit/cd22a8fb22ae0a8d3c3f9fa4940260ba5e8dc0dd. I guess the W3C regressed that at some point. I'll see if others are okay with supporting both.
That was a bit more involved than one would hope for, but link-type-alternate is a supported alternative ID now.
Request sent to IANA:
Please update the specification references for following entries in the Link Relation Types registry as follows:
In each case, the specification reference should be prefixed 'https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/links.html#' instead of 'http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/links.html#' (please retain the suffix, e.g., 'https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/links.html#link-type-alternate').
Note that the reference text for 'help' is incorrect; it should be [html] not [HTML 4.01 Specification].
