This is an archived snapshot of W3C's public bugzilla bug tracker, decommissioned in April 2019. Please see the home page for more details.
Need to update the "other link types" section once we've figured out what we're doing with the registries. See also: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html/2011Mar/0497.html
Nobody has an appetite for a new registry system, as flawed as the current one may be, so we'll close this constellation of bugs for now. If folks want to continue discussing the issues with the IANA and meta registries, https://github.com/whatwg/html/issues is the place.
