There is some language [1] in the current draft spec about using
reification for link labels.   This technique has been used as a way for
clients to provide a label to the service provider that it can persist 
with
the link.   This allows the service provider to display a user friendly
textual label for the link instead of a "raw" URL.

One drawback of this technique is that the label stored in the service
provider can get of synch with the external resource referenced by the
link, e.g. if the resource is renamed.  The use of reification has also
recently under some scrutiny in OSLC Core discussions [2].

I think that our scenarios will require displaying links in UIs, and in my
opinion UI Preview provides a better way to resolve the link label in a
just-in-time fashion.  So I would lean towards making support for compact
XML media type a SHOULD requirement.

I've added it as a MAY.   Thoughts?   SHOULD?
