Looks good to me. The change follows W3C specs and make senses for an app like Invidious. |

I propose adding a
<link>element (or aLinkHTTP header, maybe) pointing to YouTube version of a video.Right now, automated user agents (like youtube-dl) have to keep a list of known Invidious instances, which gets out of date sometimes and needs to be kept in sync manually. This PR would allow them to know that this is a YouTube video and they can directly download it from there (youtube-dl doesn't do that yet, but I'm working on implementing this).
