I'd suggest not to overload the <a> tag any more but to support a <link>
tag, eg. <link rev="reference" href="mailto:listowner@your.com">. It's the
same story as with the <A ALTSRC=""> suggestion, if any need is mapped to
an attributte, HTML moves further and further away from the SGML paradigma.
Note that cougar has already more different attributes than it has
differentt tags. I'd call this a procedural markup language in disguise.
