"parents up While “up” is described as a URI that refers to “a” parent document in a hierarchy, singular vs. plural is the only deviation from what we need for “parents”. Since a media type is not defined with a link relation, I say we use it. We can post a discussion to the atom mailing lists to see what that community thinks." As discussed yesterday in the telco: if there are multiple parents, the right way to model this is to have links to each parent. Having a single link that points to a container which in turn contains the parents adds a level of indirection that IMHO does not work for this link relation, in particular if we use a generic format like Atom. I do understand the issue mentioned by Al -- computing the set of parents may be expensive, so you don't want to do it all the time, and have to note that this is one of these issues you don't have with WebDAV (because in WebDAV clients need to tell the server which live properties ~~ link relations they are interested in :-).
