It's an old document lying around, with no authorship or status information. Did you notice its title? <title>HTML 4.0 Specification</title> (A poor title indeed, but it happens to indicate that the document was somehow related to HTML 4.0, which was obsoleted in 1999 when HTML 4.01 was defined. It wasn't part of HTML 4.0 specification, though. Just someone's notes.) > Here is the key sentence: Since these browser actions are internally > implemented by the browser, REL/REV keywords associated with these > relationships are disallowed. Besides being in a document with no status, this would not affect the job of a validator the least. It's a restriction specified in prose, not in a DTD. > The Markup Validator doesn't catch this. It's not meant to. The values of rel and rev attributes are declared as having type CDATA, which means any string - "anything goes". -- Jukka "Yucca" Korpela, http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/
