That's the problem.  anyURI does tell you there 
is a link, that there is a relationship.  It doesn't 
tell you anything else and again, these discussions 
fall apart precisely on:

1.  How to identify a link
2.  What is a link? A relationship?  A control?

Overloaded terms [expletive deleted] in specs and standards. 
One always ends up writing selector rules for word senses.

Yuk (but you knew that). Besides, anyURI tells me there's a URI, not 
that there's a link.

RDDL+HLink would be quite suitable though.
