I did add a bug here: https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=22737 The text that I'd like to add in the specification is here: http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-prerender In our discussion on public-web-perf@w3.org, the desire is to add this in the html5 spec next to the "link prefetch" description.
