Relationship is not being used in any special or obscure way. The LINK
relationships are purposefully open-ended so that you can add things like
copyright that weren't orig in the spec. If you want more explicit
language then you'll have to write it because I don't think it exists.

I never said there was; I said, and I quote:
If you need additional structure for the data you can define a standard
data format and assign it a MIME type (e.g., application/x-copyright).
I mearly told you how to associate this data (in any format you desire)
with the document in question.
