Ok, I've added a rel value similar to "nofollow" called "noreferer" that
does this.

While we are unable correct the spelling of "referer", we certainly need
not duplicate it for "noreferrer".  There must be some end to this
self-humiliation.

I think it's way better to stay consistent. Especially as the feature affects the Referer (sic) header.

I too think Anne is right here — there are enough things that are inconsistent in the web already. Don't add another thing that requires me to think. I'll just make mistakes. A markup language should not require me to think — it should reflect logical structure. Importantly, outwith the structure, logic dictates contextual consistency (even if that goes against being consistent with other contexts).
