Yes. Using a safe-CURIE wouldn't have prevented that, but at least it wouldn't break URIs in rel values.
Wait, you can't use URIs as rel values, because "next" is just as valid a URI as "http://www.w3.org/foo";. You would have to have a 'safe uri' format such as "<next>" and "<http://www.w3.org/foo>" to make it possible to interpret a rel directly as a URI.

The string "next" is a URI reference (<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc3986.html#rfc.section.4.1>), not a URI (<http://greenbytes.de/tech/webdav/rfc3986.html#rfc.section.3>).

Sorry, I was using the term URI as it is used as a datatype in HTML4. The datatype of @href in HTML4 is "URI", which as you point out, is called a URI reference in other contexts.

Best wishes,

Steven
