Recently, a number of auto-discovery conventions
are proposed and implemented in various Web browsers
and so-called Web 2.0
services. They provide
means to extract links to resources (or other useful
information) from Web documents in somewhat reliable
ways. However, the syntax of these techniques
vary and the implementators have to add specific
code for each auto-discovery technique.
The Auto-Discovery Auto-Discovery is a mechanism to discover auto-discovery element that contains links (or other information) for auto-discovery techniques. With the Auto-Discovery Auto-Discovery, user agents can detect auto-discovery elements without any particular knowledge to a specific auto-discovery technique.
The key words MUST
,
MUST NOT
,
SHOULD
, and
SHOULD NOT
in this
document are to be interpreted as described in
RFC 2119
[KEYWORDS].
An Auto-Discovery Auto-Discovery link is a hyperlink to an auto-discovery element. The referenced element is the outermost element for the auto-discovery.
The referencing element is the element representing an Auto-Discovery Auto-Discovery link.
The referencing element
MUST be a link
element in the http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
namespace.
The referencing element
MUST have the rel
attribute which contains meta
as its only link relationship value.
The referencing element
MUST have the href
attribute whose value is a same-document IRI reference
[IRI]
referencing a referenced
element within the same document. The
referenced element
MUST NOT be a
referencing element.
Ensure that same-document IRI reference
is a defined term.
The referencing element
might have any other attributes as defined in relavant specifications.
For example, a referencing element
that points a referenced element
which only applied to specific media might have the
media attribute specified.
It is necessary for a referencing
element to be inserted to the position where it is allowed.
For example, no elements in the HTML namespace other than
head is allowed to contain
link elements
[HTML5].
Note also that referencing elements
might appear in non-HTML documents. For example, they might
be used in the rss element
of an RSS feed document.
