Is it correct to assume that while 'type' does not define a relationship (as in, 'image/*' means 'my pictures'), applications may require that both the 'rel' and 'type' attribute carry a certain value when used. > > In other words, is it valid to say "look for a link with rel='a' and type='b' and only if both found, do something"? As you point out, "type" is only a hint, so I wouldn't recommend that approach. Mark.
