I suggest a value of 'external' for the 'rel' attributes of anchors. This carries no suggestion of any behavior on the part of the user agent, but it is solidly semantic markup. Certainly, nothing stops a user agent from considering the 'rel' attribute when traversing links. -- With sympathy, Etan Wexler <mailto:ewexler@stickdog.com>
