You can't use vote-for for this, because vote-for already has defined
semantics; it represents a vote that has been cast, not the
ability to
cast a vote. It's already possible to use vote-for in both rel and
rev; one indicates that the current page is a vote for the link
No, rel is explicitely excluded. And exactly that is what i don't
think of
beeing adequate. If there already exists a good semantic for
rel="vote-for",
that's just fine.
rel="vote-for", by the definition in the HTML spec, can only mean the
reverse of what rev="vote-for" means. It can't mean anything else.
There is already an established meaning for rev="vote-for", and the
reverse of that doesn't really communicate anything useful. There's
an explanation of this here:
<http://microformats.org/wiki/RelFAQ#Is.
2FWas_VoteLinks_a_proper_use_of_rel.3F>
On page A: <a href="pageB" rel="poll">The page being voted on</a>
On page B: <a href="pageA" rev="poll">Vote for this page here</a>
What about <a href="javascript:somevotingfunction()" rel="vote-
for">...</a> ?
I believe that means the page containing this link is voting for a
JavaScript function. Probably not what you want to communicate.
Peace,
Scott
