[wp-docs] Links Manager

[Michael D.Adams]

The XFN whatnot was written to describe what people see when in the 
Links Manager.  In particular, the definitions were written up because 
I thought it wouldn't be obvious to most people to click on the 
"Profile" link from http://gmpg.org/xfn/ to find an explanation of what 
each relationship means.

A clearer link ("To find out what each of these relationships mean, 
click here") in WordPress' Links Manager itself would be useful, and 
would eliminate the need to for most of the information on the Codex 
page.

I don't know what you mean here.  It seems to me that XFN is no more 
important and is used no differently "in the context of WordPress" than 
anywhere else.  So, again, perhaps the page isn't useful.

PS: I considered copyright issues only briefly as I was writing it up 
(the small link is the result of that brief consideration);  I intended 
to be more careful later - I forgot.  Supposing the page is actually 
useful to have in Codex, a better citation is in order, as would be 
contacting the appropriate authors, of which you (Matt) are one.

PPS:  To Matt or anyone else who may see that I've cancelled on order 
of 4578 of my posts to wp-docs, sorry for the annoyance.  My mail 
program is acting up and is inconsistently sending from the wrong 
address.  If you haven't noticed anything, ignore this PPS.
