LJ not correctly parsing <link... > tags.

[Brad Fitzpatrick]

Yeah, I'll fix it when I get back next week, unless somebody wants to send
me a patch.  (And no, not a full HTML parser... just de-entitify the
attribute)

It also doesn't resolve relative URLs, but I'm not sure that it should or
not.  Should we just say full URLs are required?  Either way it needs to
be documented in the spec.
