While running a web page through the validator version 1.3 for a html5 document
type I received the following validation failure.


    Error Line 147, Column 125: Bad value category for attribute rel on element
a: The string category is not a registered keyword or absolute URL.

    …posts in Uncategorized" rel="category">Uncategorized</a></div> <div
class="tag…

    Syntax of link type valid for <a> and <area>:
        A whitespace-separated list of link types, with no duplicate keywords
in the list. Each link type must be listed as allowed on <a> and <area> in the
HTML specification, or must be listed as allowed on <a> and <area> on the
Microformats wiki, or must be an absolute URL. You can register link types on
the Microformats wiki yourself. 




the full line being validated is.

[code]
<div class="categories"><a href="http://testbox02/cms/?cat=1" title="View all
posts in Uncategorized" rel="category">Uncategorized</a></div> <div
class="tags"></div> 
[/code]


>From all the research I can do this appears to be valid html and as I
investigate believe this should pass validation.

I'm logging this bug to confirm I am wrong/correct and hopefully get the
validator rules updated.
