[uf-discuss] rel="pavatar"

Sat Dec 30 02:26:22 PST 2006

Hello Jeena,
I looked over the spec quick... and I thought I'd make some comments.
In the spec, it mentions the HTTP "X-Pavatar" header... Did you
consider at all using the HTTP "Link" header instead? As in...
Link: <http://example.com/pic.png>; rel="pavatar"
The HTTP "Link" header is semantically equivalent to the HTML <link> element.
And since you are using the HTML <link> element for pavatars, I'd say
it would make sense to use the HTTP "Link" header.
See ya
