I agree that the problem described is a real one: that images, scripts, and
style sheets are often served from separate domains to avoid sending cookies
and that doing so is hard in some cases such as that described in comment 0.
However, rel="" can't fix this  since neither images nor scripts have a rel=""
attribute. It would have to be something like a "nocookie" attribute or some
such.

The usual solution is to just use an entirely separate domain (e.g. yimg.com).

Is this really common enough to warrant new syntax features in HTML?
