David et al,

Section 10.2 has a title of "Link Relations Registry" but the URL given is 
"https://www.iana.org/assignments/rdap-extensions/
rdap-extensions.xhtml" -- it looks like the intent is to register link 
relations given the content of the entries, so the URL needs to be corrected. 

Assuming that's the case, I see that 'up' is already registered, so that 
registration is not necessary.

Both that and the remaining requests are extremely generic terms, and so aren't 
appropriate to register in a specific protocol's document; experience shows 
that doing so misleads readers to believe that these terms are specific to that 
protocol and not useable elsewhere. 

Instead, I'd suggest registering them in a separate, standalone document, using 
generic descriptions that are broadly applicable; your document can then refine 
their semantics in a specific context. I suspect the HTTPAPI WG would be 
amenable to such work.

Alternatively, you could register link relation types specific to your 
application; for example, "rdap-up" and so forth.

I also notice that you define compound link relation types, e.g., "up-active" 
and "top-active". Consider defining a separate "active" relation type (again, 
either generically, or specific to your application, depending on your 
preferences), which can then be used in combination with other types -- e.g., 
"top active" and "up active". 

Cheers,
