NCSA Mosaic 3.0 also has glyphs for defined link relationships like
Index, Up, Next, etc. For a look at some of these, see
http://www.htmlhelp.com/%7Eliam/mosaic.gif
Mosaic also provides buttons for unknown relationships, which has the
unfortunate side-effect of including a button to an externally LINKed
style sheet (as shown above). And for some reason, Mosaic refers to
REV=Made links as "Bookmark".
Other browsers support LINKs as well. UdiWWW (for Windows) has had
support for LINKs for ages:

And of course Lynx supports them:

AMSD Ariadna (a Windows browser) also supports LINKs, but
unfortunately I can't give you a screen shot since the last couple
versions of that browser GPF on startup for me. Earlier versions
(before Java support was added) were more stable, and offered LINKs
via a pull-down menu--a nice approach given the heavy use of screen
real-estate by NCSA Mosaic 3.0 and UdiWWW.
