Subject: [core] Link Hints: draft-nottingham-link-hint-00.txt

On apps-discuss, a discussion has started on the below draft, which defines a data model for carrying, in the HTTP Link format, additional information about resources, solving a similar problem to the various "profile" ideas that we have been discussing here.
This is supposed to be HTTP-specific, but the very same mechanism might be applicable to CoAP as well.
It also defines an interesting convention for carrying JSON data in the HTTP Link format.

We can discuss CoRE-specific aspects here, but the discussion of the draft should be over in apps-discuss.

Grüße, Carsten
