In addition to the LINK element, regular A elements support both rel/rev
attributes, to state the relation of the href document to/from the current
document, and the accesskey attribute. These relations
(http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/types.html#type-links) include start,
next, previous, contents, glossary, and other useful relations. The
specification even states, "User agents, search engines, etc. may interpret
these link types in a variety of ways. For example, user agents may provide
access to linked documents through a navigation bar."
At least the accesskey attribute is (a bit clumsily) supported by IE5; when
specified on an A element, use Alt-{accesskey} to select the anchor, and
Enter to follow the link. (I haven't checked 4 for this.)
