However, we've been using rel="meta" since at least 2009 My understanding of the ACL system was that is was a metaphor for UNIX style inodes which provide meta data about a file. While the ACL is in there, there can be other information that is fundamental to the resource too (or we may wish to add some later). There has been previous discussions to register rel="meta" with IANA e.g. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2010JanMar/0244.html > > > Social Web Architect > http://bblfish.net/ > > >
