If two links have the same `rel` value, but different target URIs, should both be considered \"valid\" and if so, how should a client find the correct one between the two?\r\n\r\nIf the two links have `type`, `title` or other parameters that distinguish them, then that helps, but since these parameters are optional, I'd appreciate some explanation on what to do when the links have duplicate `rel` values.\r\n\r\nSeen from an implementation perspective, you'd be likely to choose a dictionary where the `rel` value in some form or another is used as a lookup key, returning one or more links with a matching `rel` parameter. Should the implementation of RFC 5899 not care about duplicates, leaving that problem up to the client application or user, or should duplicates be handled in some prescribed, algorithmic way?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mnot/I-D/issues/comments/198299703","html_url":"https://github.com/mnot/I-D/issues/170#issuecomment-198299703","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mnot/I-D/issues/170","id":198299703,"user":{"login":"asbjornu","id":12283,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/12283?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/asbjornu","html_url":"https://github.com/asbjornu","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/asbjornu/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/asbjornu/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/asbjornu/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/asbjornu/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/asbjornu/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/asbjornu/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/asbjornu/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/asbjornu/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/asbjornu/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-03-18T10:36:56Z","updated_at":"2016-03-18T10:36:56Z","body":"What should be done with parameters not defined in RFC 5899?
