Additional rel values in LINK tag

[Marcin Jankowski]

Hello

I was wondering how to streamline page navigation for users (especially standart functionality)

My idea is to extend the list of values of rel attribute in LINK tag.

It would allow to implement in browsers a set of navigation buttons that would always perform similar tasks.
Users would have most of commonly used functionalities always in the same location.

I would suggest extending list (at least) by:
    loginpage
    sitemap
    contact
    search
    advancedsearch

For example

<LINK href="http://www.mywebsite.com/login_page.html" rel="loginpage" type="text/html">
<LINK href="http://www.mywebsite.com/sitemap.html" rel="sitemap" type="text/html">

regards

MJ.

There is a wiki page that you may edit to add your own proposed rel values to HTML5:
