https://github.com/sdmx-twg/sdmx-json/blob/71fe5eaa9fcd29e3c15f2f0216a19b9b650b1dbd/data-message/docs/1-sdmx-json-field-guide.md#linking-mechanism says in the overview and the later prose that the href attribute is required. That does not make sense to me and the schema also disagrees. In the schema either rel+urn or rel+href are required. The specification should be clarified on this point.

(In doubt, please handle this as a public review comment on SDMX 3.1 once the comment period begins.)
