Thanks, Scott. RFC 8288 (obsoletes RFC 5988) also retains this requirement (in 
section 2).

Hi.

Did some digging on this.

Right, RFC 7483 had only “href” as a MUST. RFC 7483bis (eventually RFC 9083) 
additionally made “rel” and “value” as MUST’s. Looks like the “rel” MUST came 
about because of RFC 8288 mandating so [1], and the RDAP Deployment Findings 
and Update draft highlighting so [2]. As for making “value” a MUST, the 
rationale is not very clear from [2]. It even passed the IESG review [3]. 
(Scott might be able to shed more light on this. :))
[SAH] The change was made in version -01 of draft-hollenbeck-regext-rfc7483bis 
(“Clarified that the "value", "rel" and "href" JSON values MUST be specified in 
the "links" array.”) Here’s the on-list discussion:

Blame RFC 5988.
