Actually, looking at <http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/#linkTypes>, I currently can't see any restriction on the syntax (except the one that follows of the fact that values are space-separated)- Also "is compared as a string--not as a URI" is a bit misleading; there is no single URI comparison method; character-by-character matching is just one of many mentioned in RFC 3986 (see <http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc3986.html#rfc.section.6.2.1>). > ...
