That page doesn't say that.

Regardless, it doesn't matter what that page says. The HTML spec says the rel
attribute can't have any arbitrary value:

http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/semantics.html#attr-link-rel

Instead it has a set of standard "allowed keywords" that the spec defines, and
then some extensions to that set of keywords, registered at:
