That's what I was expecting. Not to use it so much for linking to 
additional metadata about a particular item or channel, but to link to 
more channels. In other words,
- links to alternate representations of the same content
- links to (lists of) channels I know about
- links to (lists of) channels I like

A key question here is who/what would use this and what would they do 
with it?
