I am pretty sure that Steven > agrees with me on this - Steven? I agree with Shane. The idea behind RDFa in my mind is to extend the use of existing HTML constructs in a consistent and simple way to make semantics attractive for the street HTML author. This means to me that existing stuff works and fits in to the structure. My worry is that we are piling hack on to hack to fix the next problem we meet, and abandoning the original simplicity. My first definition of the semantics of RDFa was in 2 paragraphs! (Partly thanks to the declarative definition rather than the current procedural one). I mourn the loss of that simplicity. Anyway, I think rel="next" should work. Steven
