Sam,
I presume that interested clients would parse for the value of the "rel" parameter in order to know the purpose of the link.   If so, then I think that all the life-cycle values should also be listed in table 2 - Link Relations.  I inserted the type="action" in the example below - I did not see "class" as a link-parameter in the draft-nottingham draft on web-linking.  Also, I presume the title parameter would be optional.
< Link: </us-east/webapp/vm01;start>;
<       rel="http://purl.org/occi/action/start";
        type="action"
<       title="Start"



Good discussion on this thread!....looking forward to the telecons and the future F2F (good idea Andre!).

PS: We are going to be implementing a small portion of the spec soon - initially will be coding up the GET verb.   We'll share our experiences as soon as we can.  I'll be coding up the client - so it should be able to hit our implementation and others too.
