Etan Wexler: > > I suggest a value of 'external' for the 'rel' attributes of anchors. That's what I think is the most "mark-upish" and harmless thing to do. It's easy to style then with CSS attribute selectors, if one wants/needs to. Btw.: A simple CSS3 selector does the same job for many, probably most links one would consider "external": a[href^="http://"]. You cannot currently add behaviour with CSS, though. Despite the questions whether there should be a distinction between local and external links and how to define the difference, I think, the W3C should include "external" or "offsite" or the like in the informative list of rel/rev attribute values. Thus UAs [c|w]ould incorporate a behaviour like Roland Blüthgen has shown using Javascript. Christoph Päper
