After the IESG/IETF review, a bunch of editorial clarifications were made to the linkset draft.  The one major change is that a SHOULD was changed to a MUST in processing whitespace; this is needed for interoperability.

  *   When converting an "application/linkset" document to a field value for the HTTP "Link" header, newline characters MUST be removed or MUST be replaced by white space (SP) in order to comply with Section 5.5 of [I-D.ietf-httpbis-semantics].

If you disagree with this (and really, don’t :) please post to the list by March 28. It’s a short deadline, but this should be non-controversial, is required for interop, and the deadline matches other deadlines our AD Francesca has asked for internationalization review.

Thanks!
