The HTML attribute set is added to more conservatively than the link relation set. You may think of a specialised signature attribute as being a parallel to: <link stylesheet="style.css"> Instead of: <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css"> The former is a design pattern which is avoided in HTML. One alternative which does have an existing parallel is a rel-signature attribute, like the data-* attributes. Unlike the data-* attributes, however, rel- would not be intended for user extension, so this aspect does not have a parallel.
