No, it really is the other way around!

Do you think? so the above example would translate as...

<http://someapp.com/> made <http://referencingpage.com/>

change that example to a vote link....

<a rev="vote-for"  href="http://someapp.com/";>I made this app</a>

your interpretation would translate as

<http://someapp.com/> vote-for <http://referencingpage.com/>

Is this correct?

[...]
The way you're interpreting it is as "made by" which is a perfectly natural and sensible interpretation,

Which is what I am intending to mean

but wrong according to the specification of the term, and how it's used in the wild.

There is some evidence to say that in the wild most authors use rev=made wrongly

This is a good illustration of why verbs are a bad idea as link types - nouns or adjectives work better.

Agreed :-)

Thanks again Toby.
