Section 4.2.4 of the HTML Standard[1] contains a note: "Note: If the rel attribute is used, the element is restricted to the head element. When used with the itemprop attribute, the element can be used both in the head element and in the body of the page, subject to the constraints of the microdata model." However, all modern browsers at least seem to respect/treat rel link elements in the body as most developers would expect (ie, they work just fine). Given that this would appear to be a de-facto standard and that is to some extent the goal of the spec (documenting what _is_ actually standard), I'm curious as to the discrepancy... Can someone (Hixie maybe) explain? Is it worth opening a bug or am I missing something important? 1. http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/#the-link-element -- Brian Kardell :: @briankardell :: hitchjs.com
