Should've taken the time to look it up and appreciate the correction. Think I at least got right the usage of rel and rev though :>) -- Susan R.

It's the relationship of the link, and if the link is a type of appendix, then semantically I don't see anything wrong with your use, though I would add a title tag stating the link was going to open a pop-up, if that's the case. rev is also a relationship, but not of the linked item, the other way around. If I was on a table of measurments and there was a link back to the recipe, the link would have a rev defining that the measurments do you're on is a dictionary for the recipe. So I don't think your use of rev is correct, or semantic. If you were on the T&C and had a link to the home page, this link could have a rev. at least that's the way I understand it. -- Susan R.

Sorry, resending this, as I don't think my gmail account is signed up to the list. (if it posted anyway, apologies for the doubler) On Mon, Oct 20, 2008 at 4:53 PM, Patrick H.
