No, you have things the wrong way around. Your example says "this e-mail
address was made by this page", which usually will not make sense,
unless its a page generated by the final stage of a webmail signup
script. :-)

Basically, you use rel to describe how other pages relate to this one,
and rev to describe how this page relates to others.

rev is almost always redundant: rev="next" is almost always better
described as rel="previous". rev="up" arguably has some use, as there is
no such thing as rel="down".
