To my knowledge HTML4 was the first specification to define link relations and they were not URIs and could contain non-ASCII characters if you defined one yourself if you declared a profile: http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#type-links Also, they are case-insensitive and therefore might need to be normalized if you want to "bind" them to a URIs. -- Anne van Kesteren <http://annevankesteren.nl/> <http://www.opera.com/>
