Description

In the current specification, the section on Link headers says that "a client MUST treat the RDF in the body of the WebID Profile as canonical."

Is there a specific reason for this decision?

I am asking because having the Link header as canonical instead would allow for an easier integration of this (non-writable) technical information with the (preferably writable) content of a Solid Profile.
