"The rel and rev attributes play complementary roles -- the rel
attribute specifies a forward link and the rev attribute specifies a
reverse link."
        — http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/struct/links.html#rev-link

Starting with rel:

• rel="alternate" means 'the linked document is an alternate
representation of this page'

Therefore using rev describes a reverse of that definition:

• rev="alternate" would mean 'this page is an alternate
representation for the linked page'

With vote links:

• rev="vote-for" means 'this page is a vote for the linked page'

and reversed:

• rel="vote-for" means 'the linked page is a vote for this page'


Hope that clarifies the attributes for you, Ara.

Okay, that makes sense. But that also means that the spec shouldn't
constrain the Vote Links to rev only. Rather it should be expanded to
include both uses and cite proper examples for each. N'est pas?
