 If you remove the remove the action that adds {{{<link rel="shortlink" ...
 }}} into the head of a post, the shortlink button in the admin bar says
 "No shortlink available for this page" when you click it, even though the
 href for the link is a valid shortlink.

 IMO the absence of the {{{<link>}}} does not mean that one doesn't exist
 (it could be announced in other ways, e.g., a HTTP header), and so the
 admin bar button needs to take this into account.

 Maybe the {{{clickShortlink}}} Javascript function should check the href
 of the shortlink button in cases where there is no {{{<link>}}} tag?
