As the author of 4685 I'm a bit biased but I'm not sure I see the need for the new rel attribute. in-reply-to would seem to cover the need well enough.


So, just to complete the thought, the proposal is to use in-reply-to to represent a bookmark? In other words, we'd be modelling a bookmark as a response to an entry.

Presumably this would look something like this:

  <entry>
    <author>
      <name>Mart</name>
    </author>
    <id>tag:ma.gnolia.com,2005:Ma.gnolia-slokowuyird</id>
    <published>2009-01-11T22:02:04-08:00</published>
    <updated>2009-01-11T22:02:04-08:00</updated>
    <thr:in-reply-to
        href="http://www.ietf.org/ietf/1id-guidelines.html";
        type="text/html"
    />


    <link
        href="http://ma.gnolia.com/people/Mart/bookmarks/slokowuyird";
        rel="alternate"
        type="text/html"
    />

  </entry>

How is a consumer intended to determine that the above is a "bookmark" (i.e. annotated pointer) rather than a reply in the traditional sense?
