Funny you should say that. When you told me it was part of Atom 0.3 I also
thought to myself that I should have checked that before posting.
Technically you were correct. Version 0.3 of the syndication format doesn't
mention next and prev explicitly, but it does say (in section 3.4.1) that
the rel attribute "must be one of the values enumerated in the API
specification". And at the time the API specification included (amongst
others) start, next and prev. They were only recently removed (in
draft-ietf-atompub-protocol-03). If you look at the draft prior to that
you'll find them in section 3.5.1.

There seems to be a history of the atom spec here:

I could not find the prev link in any of the specs. So I guess I was
mistaken.
