The problem solved by rev=made (or rel=author, which is the same) is the
problem of how to indicate the author of the page. We have solved that
problem in HTML5 (with rel=author).
That does not solve the "problem" of rev="made" because its not the same
as rel="author"
"author" can relate to multiple instances on a page saying "WE made
this", an Author may have no control over who claims authorship of a page.
"made" is usually a single point perspective, Its a way of authors
claiming their own links in a statement saying "I made This".
rev="made" is subtle but ever so important link relationship for an
author, HTML5 really shouldn't abandon rev because of it.
