.append() works, .html() doesn't.

From the ​HTML spec:

This element defines a link. Unlike A, it may only appear in the HEAD section of a document

Even though '<link>' should only be in head, browsers are apparently very forgiving. Since it should only be in head, you can't really use .html() there, so not really sure if this should be fixed.

Replying to sindresorhus:

And for the record, I agree with this comment, except that we already fix it in cases of style and script, so we have a precedent, and the code is as easy as adding link to the noInnerhtml text
