One issue with having switches based on the *presence* of the rel attribute is that, if I recall correctly, IE reports rel, rev, lang and xml:lang as being present, but empty, on every element. There's currently some code in rdfQuery that deals with this by mapping empty values into undefined (as if the attribute wasn't there), but I believe that it's legacy code given that I have to parse the serialised start tag of the element in IE anyway.
