Note, in <http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/links.html#link-type-up>:

"The up keyword may be repeated within a rel attribute to indicate the 
hierarchical distance from the current document to the referenced 
document. If it occurs only once, then the link is leading to the 
current document's parent; each additional occurrence of the keyword 
represents one further level."
