For link weblogs (I run one) it would be very useful to be able to distinquise between the link you point to and the link it is about.
Currently aggregators (like Hotlinks) take the first |rel="related"| link and consider that to be the most important one.
My weblog system does the same.
Example: <http://annevankesteren.nl/archives/href/2005/02#link-1306>
The post is really about the ten new working drafts. That I read something slightly related is not really the subject of the post although it might be interesting to the reader.
I proposed this ages ago and it would probably need another pace now (although I read those are not accepted anymore):
|rel="about"| Points to the resource the entry is about.
That would be enough. Zero or more allowed.
If this is not addressed I guess aggregators and publishing systems keep such hacks which would not be really nice.
