I agree there's some anomaly regarding <script/>.
But on the other hand, style sheets apply to the document as such while 
scripts can be included in a certain place.
That's why <link/> is only allowed to be a child of <head/>, while <script/> 
can be a child of nearly anything.

I for my part therefor think, <script/> cannot be replaced by <link/>.
But I agree that for consistency, a LinkType Script should be defined to be 
able to include scripts using <link rel="Script" href="..." 
type="text/javascript" />.
