Right. Therefore use rel and rev attribute respectively :)

Using rel means one type, using rev means the other type.

But that's just not what rel and rev mean. And this part isn't even a meaning we've defined here, so we couldn't change it if we wanted to. It's defined in the HTML spec:

The rel and rev attributes play complementary roles -- the rel attribute specifies a forward link and the rev attribute specifies a reverse link.

Consider two documents A and B.

Document A:       <LINK href="docB" rel="foo">

Has exactly the same meaning as:

Document B:       <LINK href="docA" rev="foo">

Both attributes may be specified simultaneously.

A polling place is not the reverse of a ballot.

Peace,
