For what it's worth it appears to have come from HTML 4.0. It was linked from http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-htmllink-970328#link

Thanks for digging that up!

I'd definitely go with the HTML5 document though, much more recent :)

Hi,

while browsing the web, I came across this document:

http://www.w3.org/TR/relations.html

Wow, I've never seen that document!




It lists all kinds of values to be put inside the rel attribute of HTML <link> or <a> tags, which is exactly what I was looking for. However, it doesn't have any information on its status, revision history, etc, nor does it seem linked
from anywhere.

I'd like some definitive reference on what link types make sense (HTML4 suggests a few, but in practice others are used). However, I'm not keen on
using this document unless I can assign some credit to it.

Do you have any idea about the status of this document, or a suggestion on
whom to ask?

I cannot find any information about who created this document. It has no status, and so I suggest that you not refer to it.

I suggest that you refer to the HTML5 list instead, which is actively being developed:
 http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/interactive-elements.html#linkTypes
