Why isn't nofollow semantic? OK, it's badly named, but properties in
RDF are URIs, and URIs are opaque.

Let's imagine an agent which takes the RDFa of a page, and also adds
some extra triples along the lines of:

	<page> sioc:links_to <dest> .

For every <a href> and <link href> link on the page.

It's reasonable to run the following SPARQL on that data:

	CONSTRUCT {
		?author ex:endorses ?page .
	}
	WHERE {
		?source dc:creator ?author .
		?source sioc:links_to ?page .
		FILTER NOT EXISTS { ?source xhv:nofollow ?page . }
	}

Personally for HTML5+RDFa I just accept the union of HTML5's rel
values, and RDFa's rel values.
