Some interaction between the ECHO team with representatives of OpenSearch and OGC produced the following suggestion as a byproduct, which replaces many of our ESIP-specific "rel" values with standard values from the IANA registry (http://www.iana.org/assignments/link-relations/link-relations.xhtml).

What do you all think?  Are these terms definitive enough to replace our non-standard terms?

> http://esipfed.org/ns/fedsearch/1.1/documentation# => "describedby"

The "describedby" seems logical in place of http://esipfed.org..../documentation#, but I am on the fence for the other two.
