I am forced to disagree. We have no way of constraining an RDFa Processor
to only do things in a Lite context or a non-Lite context. Consequently,
any occurrence of @rel is going to be interpreted by a conforming
processor. And one conforming Processor cannot work differently than
another with regard to the (minimal) triples generated, so all of the
values of @rel are going to be processed.
In theory a validator could flag the use of @rel on a <link> element, but
why? @rel is legal everywhere according to RDFa Lite. At least that is my
reading of the Profile.
