There are a whole host of possible links which can be inserted in a document's head section. But it is a navigation/accessibility feature which browser developers have so far never latched onto in a big way.
However there are a couple of links which are used, the obvious one being that which tells browsers where to find your stylesheet(s).
Another is for the favorite icon, although like the kind of links you mentioned, this too is redundant unless you call it something other than favicon.ico or have it located somewhere other than the root directory.
One "arising from" note is that all free WordPress themes (including the ones which come with the script by default) are intended for use by anyone and everyone. I believe I am right in saying that if you want to submit a theme to the official WordPress depository, it is not only considered good form to include all the standard features and functions: it is actually required.
But once you are developing a theme for your own site, there are quite a lot of functions you can remove and queries you can replace. Since I mentioned the stylesheet link, it is one: the virtue of having a bit of php is so that you, me and Uncle Tom Cobbley can drop the theme into a site and run it. But if you want to cut back on the queries, you can replace ones like that with a hard-coded path and file-name.
