By adding rel="code" to a hyperlink, a page indicates that the

what programming language the destination contains.
The HTML 4.01 recommendation defines the lang attribute as being an
RFC 1766 code. (RFC 1766 has since been obsoleted by RFC 3066, itself
obsoleted by RFC 4646/4647, so one assumes that authors should now
use RFC 4646/4647 codes instead.) Putting a programming language in
there is against the spirit of the spec, and (although SGML
validators won't spot it) against the defined syntax.
HTML already contains a perfectly good way of indicating that a
linked file is in a particular programming language - the type
attribute.
<a href="foo.pl" type="application/x-perl">Foo (download script)</a>
