There are already several @microformats that prescribe classes to use to add semantics. And classes aren't *just* for styling.

See: JS.

With that in mind, I think "overloading" the class of an element is a better idea than over loading the rel attribute.

@kneath So true. Just remember me already.

While you're at it, read about @microformats's use of the rel attribute. xfn, rel-tag, rel-license, rel-nofollow, etc.

(You *should* read the whole book.)

To begin with, here's @diveintomark's explanation of the rel attribute. Read it. It's good.

I really should write a blog post about this, but whatever. Serial tooting will have to suffice this time.

Just finished reading @steveklabnik's "Write Better Cukes With the Rel Attribute" : http://blog.steveklabnik.com/2011/12/20/write-better-cukes-with-the-rel-attribute.html
