For what it's worth, I always press 'c' before going hunting for a contact address. It usually doesn't work, but that's life I guess. Ian: would it be too much to have the spec say that @rev is valid if and only if its value is "made" or "owner"? That way I can continue supporting older versions of lynx until people have updated to a version supporting rel=author I generally prefer lynx over links, w3m and such when I'm ssh'd into another machine, so I don't know much about them, but if they also support @rev then that would be more reason to keep it in with these fixed values. ?
