Re: Link relation for adding a resource

Looks very similar to the link representation I defined in my Restful
Objects spec [1], where (sect 2.7) I define:

{
  "rel": ".../xxx",
  "href": "http://~/objects/ORD/123",
  "type":  "application/json;profile=\".../object\"",
  "method": "GET",
  "title": "xxx",
  "arguments": { ... },
  "value": { ... }
}


For the "rel", I ended up defining a namespace for my own values (sect
2.7.1.2), at least where there wasn't an IANI-defined one that suited.
