SPECIFICATION BUGS ONLY - Description
=====================================
We already dumped the Icon element in favor of Link/@rel="icon" ... we should do the same for @screenshot and @thumbnail links...

e.g. <Link rel="screenshot" href="..." /> and <Link rel="thumbnail" href="..." />

Better yet, let's consolidate "screenshot" and "thumbnail" into a single "preview" link relation as defined... in http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-snell-additional-link-relations-04.txt

James, the spec has a suggested size for the thumbnail image, I believe it is 120x60. I think the assumption, and this is probably a bad assumption, is that screenshot is larger than that. If we consolidate both into a a link of rel preview, are we loosing some functionality?

Yes, potentially... as a tradeoff for overall simplification of the spec.
