Fair enough, but I wouldn't place requirements around this; just note it as
something that might happen.

I've just noticed that it's never mentionned that a client should be
prepared to receive multiple 103 responses as any informational response
(or at least I did not notice).
I think that indicating that multiple responses MAY be sent with complementary
and/or possibly overlapping links, it may help grasp the overall principle
and the relation between these informational responses and the final one.
The case I'm having in mind is the same as described in the PR comment, a
server-side gateway could speculatively send a 103 with a few site-specific
links while the server provides another 103 with some resource-specific
links.
