Well, you could have a header like this:

Link: The latest version of the FAQ: <http://www.traffic.is/faqs/gffaq.html>
Link: Maintaner homepage: <http://www.traffic.is/~lennart>

Or the other way around, with the links first and description later.
This should be easy to pick up by automatic tools, and since you can
have several headers with a description you can link to whatever you
want.

Bingo!
