I agree that this is a better solution than adding a new attribute, although the value should -- if it consists of several words -- be hyphenated and not contain spaces. Spaces usually separates several different values in attributes (think of the 'class' attribute for instance). So it should be 'rel="external-site"', 'rel="alternate-media"' etc. Infact, the values 'alternate' and 'related' exists already, and their semantics could probably be defined for this use in HTML.
