Unfortunately, this page also uses @rel in a slightly 'awkward' way. Each news item is marked up as follows:<a rel="details" title="Experts Share Perspectives on Web Standards at Fundamentos Web 2006" href="/News/2006#item101" shape="rect" >News archive</a> @rel is being used here to indicate to a GRDDL transform that the value in the @href attribute is the URI of an rss:item, i.e., the *subject* of a statement. This technique of ignoring existing semantics provided by the document in favour of some specific, context-based interpretation, is not dissimilar to the approach taken by microformats.
In this case I'd argue that those are the correct semantics. The href is the subject of metadata specified by the title attribute and its associates such as hreflang. Those are the semantics the document author intended because they are embodied in html itself.
