One example of a site which sets these relative links is the SeaMonkey
project website. For example, at
https://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/features
"Top" will get you to the site front page,
https://www.seamonkey-project.org/, and "Up" will go to the
documentation section, https://www.seamonkey-project.org/doc/.
At the front/home page, the atom news feed will be under "Subscribe".
Some webforums and content management systems will also have information
that shows up in the Website Navigation Toolbar, for example, WordPress
shows "Next" and "Previous" to navigate between posts:
