If the rel values beyond those in the HTML spec are ever going to be used for anything besides a nice little informational note for the 'view source' reader, we need a registry of some sort to define what each value means. For example, I could envision a rel="sitemap" pointing to a sitemap of a specific XML media type. But if there is no registry, some web developers might decide it would be cool to start pointing it to human readable HTML pages, thereby fragmenting the web. There might be another way to address my concern, but I think it needs to be addressed somehow. -- -Mike Schinkel http://www.mikeschinkel.com/blogs/ http://www.welldesignedurls.org http://atlanta-web.org - http://t.oolicio.us "It never ceases to amaze how many people will proactively debate away attempts to improve the web..."
