I agree with Martin that it's sad we are unable to take advantage of this attribute where possible.
Fortunately, this isn't really a problem in practice. One of the notable characteristics of rev is that it carries the same meaning as rel, only with reverse directionality. This allows us to express anything with one that we could otherwise express with the other, by reversing the directionality of the value. In some cases, this reversal is simple to do, e.g. rev="son" carries pretty much the exact same meaning as rel="father". In other cases, it will require more thought, but I don't believe there's any case where it's impossible; language is rich. So we're not really losing anything here. We can't do rev="reply", but we can still do rel="prompted" (i.e. that URL prompted this reply) or something similar to indicate the same meaning.
