I suppose what I'd like to see is a l...@rel that says "without which I would have no meaning/reason to exist" and another that says "this is related, by I can stand on my own". The latter is (I think) adequately captured by l...@rel="related", while for expressing the former, we only have thr:in-reply-to. Bookmarking certainly requires the former (i.e., the bookmark has no meaning w/o the thing being bookmarked). --peter > Bill > >
