Would it make sense just to leave it there and add text saying that the
interpretation is specific to the Rel type? Is it a concern if people come
up with some unexpected use for Subject that isn't strictly for linking to
XRDs? Seems like trying to explain the distinction is likely to raise more
questions than help.
