[Bug 12223] Drop rel=help. It's for showing a button in the browser's UI which no browser shows by default. It doesn't seem to be helpful for users, so just wastes authors' time.

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: This one is pretty borderline, but for <a href="" rel=help> it seems
like the kind of thing that could be helpful to provide styling hooks (e.g. to
turn help links into little circled question marks).

The <link rel=help> seems pretty useless though. If you want just that one
removed, we can probably do that. Reopen the bug if that's what you want.
