I know a lot about HTML, but all this time I don't know what the <LINK>
tags in the head do. There are those that call a stylesheet, favicon,
etc. But what about those that state the contents of the page, identify
the next and previous page, etc. Do some browsers support them or are
they just for organization or something?

Firefox has -- or had -- an extension that would give users access to
the urls in <link> elements. The extension does not work with the latest
version, and there have been no updates for some time. :-(
Opera has this built in. There are a few other browsers that also have
support for it. As you might have guessed, IE is not one.

The Mozilla / SeaMonkey suite has native support for LINK elements, one
reason I prefer it over the more-hyped Firefox.

Mozilla (0.9.5-0.9.9 and 1.1+) has support too and iCab. Also, a few older
browsers like Mosaic and UdiWWW. Most command-line browsers include
support for <LINK>, including Lynx.
There is an add-in for IE too: http://www.draig.de/LinkBar/index.en.html

This reason alone makes me want to figure out how to do scripting in FF,
so I can write a new LINK bar. I was a big proponent of LINK support in
Mozilla, and it's one thing I still miss in FF.

their desktop, as well as seeing the icon in the URL. Our development
server allows both HTTP and HTTPS connections, but the icon only
appears to be available when requesting the page via HTTP???...

Is there a way to dynamically add a link tag to the head block of an
..aspx page? I'm aware that you can add a link tag (or literal
control) statically and then dynamically modify the attributes.
I'm wondering if there's a way to add the tag from scratch at run
time.
thanks,

Very odd. Check out this RSS feed that my PHP script just built:
http://www.tagcastle.com/rss/photography.xml
When I had a straight URL in the <link> tag, or the <comment> tag, then
"=" character drew an error and caused my XML to be not-well-formed. So
I hit it with the PHP command rawurlencode, and now it draws no error,
but it no longer works as a link.
What did I do wrong?

It's been years since putting together a page. This line in my HTML:
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="net4801style.css">
gives this problem (via weblint HTML checker):
attribute 'TYPE' for <link> is extended markup (use -x <extension> to do
this).
Where might be found a resource, for simple folk, explaining how to best
correct this?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
