I agree that it would have some use, as far as a smaller queue for the breadfirst parser to have (since many pages will have a link to home, and perhaps a back in some places). However, I would much prefer to see it as a <a href="javascript:history.back()"> That is the W3C standard way for a back hyperlink. The pods:// protocol is not any standard, it is something proprietary and closed. It may be better for Plucker to encourage the standards instead of the proprietary things, especially from companies that may fold up shop soon. I don't know if there is a javascript for home though. It isn't really a home in most browser senses though, since the home can be different in Plucker, since there can be a list of links to many channels as the home, and the "home" link at the bottom of one individual website is usually meant as a link back to the main page of that website's channel, not back to the homepage of the list of links.
