      Let's use distinct names for the two types of links: Relationships use relationship-source, feeds use feed-source.

      There's some confusion caused by using the source link for relationships and feeds. See lines 138-140:

      "This link references the source of the current object. In a relationship object, this link references the source object. In feeds, this link references the atom entry document of the object creating the feed."

      And lines 430-432:

      3.4.3.5.1.1 source
      The source link relation points to the underlying CMIS Type Definition as Atom Entry. This link relation MUST be on the CMIS Type Feed.

      The distinction between the two usages of this link needs clarification. Should this one link name be used for these two different things? Maybe it is two links so that it is clearer (and easier to describe)?
