Hello, > [...] > 4) Web developers need to be educated and encouraged to use 'rel' and 'rev' > With a system like this in place, it the user wants to go to the 'home > page', see the 'site map', view his 'shopping cart' etc... he or she > will not have to look around for the link to take them there.
