Closes #4224. That issue was about the general lack of specification for the Link header, which has been resolved. #8741 tracks potentially adding Link header support for rel=stylesheet, but there's no need to retain notices in the spec about the possibility of this nonstandard feature. (The note was also quite incomplete, as it didn't talk about things like the cascade, document.styleSheets, etc.)

<span>process link headers</span> algorithm, and in doing so influence a <code>Document</code>'s

integrating this into the spec.</p>

I think it would be good to retain some kind of note that explains that the Link header does not necessarily work for all the things that work with <link>. Perhaps even call out stylesheet as an example.

Done, and actually did a bit more by adding the "has Link processing" to the summary table.
