What do you mean by "standard" @rel values? standard in the context of RDFa
or HTML?

Most people won't expect this triple to be generated, and they won't expect
the behavior of @property alongside @rel either. In my view your case
qualifies as advanced use of RDFa. Would you also expect a triple in the
case where you had @rel="nofollow" (in the HTML sense)?
