I've seen about five ways to write an e-mail address in HTML, and only one is maximally convenient. Sloppy browsers ignore this tag: <LINK rev=made href="mailto:postmaster@ecn.ab.ca"> Sloppy people reinvent it. So, it seems to me that WebLint was correct to consider the LINK tag as compulsory (SGML), even if it made the error of providing a switch to disable the complaint. (You can always be creative with the address if you think any point is to avoiding spiders). BTW, unicode is nothing but a headache to fontographers (and people who don't believe that standards change every three years), because I hav a grand total of ONE unicode font on my machine, and I don't think I'll ever see Chinese written in the style of Zapf Chancery.
