To indicate that not only is this a vcard, but a better or "reference" vcard is available at the other end of the link.


I like the idea of being able to hint at the presence of microformats in other documents. Certainly, it could make focused crawling for microformats a bit easier (in certain cases).

However, using @rel here seems like semantic abuse. From the spec[1]:

This attribute describes the relationship from the current document to the anchor specified by the href attribute. The value of this attribute is a space-separated list of link types.

I'm not sure its reasonable to say that 'vcard' describes the relationship between these two documents.

It seems that the more semanticaly appropriate place to put this would be @type. However, I'm not sure I want to get into that.

I disagree: it exactly specifies the relationship between VCARD-A and VCARD-B: VCARD-B is the canonical or preferred rendering of VCARD-A.

We've already made the leap that "current document" means the uFed object in question on the source side, cf. rel-tag.

Regards, etc...
