To follow up on this idea:

The XHTML2 WG is taking the same direction, as far as linking to external rules. It would be probably a good idea to use the same
value for rel. They discarded the idea of using a CURIE value to be more interoperable with other formats and are thinking of using
rel="itsRules". Would this be possible for HTML5 as well?
