I'm interested to know if anyone is aware of the history behind the rev=made
feature in lynx? The current implementation violates HTML in a couple of
ways:
docs/CHANGES2.3 says this:
12-15-93
* ownership is no longer inherited.
* link rev="owner" href="mailto:ADDRESS"; now accepted as well as
link rev="made" href="mailto:ADDRESS"; to define the URL of the
owner or person responsible for the info.
That's "when". For "who" - I don't know, other than by context that it
wasn't Foteos Macrides.
1) It only looks for the attribute on <link> hyperlinks and not on <a>
hyperlinks
2) rev=made implies that the email address was made by the page, rel=made or
rev=made by would be better
I don't see this in the HTML 4.0 spec...
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#type-links
I'm also wondering if anything that isn't lynx supports this, as I can find
very little documenation on the format anywhere. Would there be any
interest in using more modern (and these days common) formats like hCard?
