Seems to be semantic nonsense, since the "rel" attribute value usually "describes the relationship from the current document to the anchor" [1]. There's no existing link type [2] similar to "nofollow", either. > Should this, or some alternative mechanism that achieves the same > ends, be included in XHTML 2.0? Rather some alternative solution than this attempt, which in my opinion should be ignored. Regards, Jens.
