              VoteLinks: <a rel="vote-for" href="...">You've Got My Vote, Technorati!</a>

            • Developers Wiki - VoteLinks

              Vote Links

              preamble
              Indexing and tracking applications treat all links as endorsements, or expressions of support. This is a problem, as we need to link to those we disagree with as well, to discuss why.

              specification
              I propose that we add a set of three new values for the rel attribute of the <a> (link) tag in HTML. The new values are "vote-for" "vote-abstain" or "vote-against", which are mutually exclusive, and represent agreement, abstention or indifference, and disagreement respectively.

              Could it get any easier than <a rel="vote-for" href="http://thislink.foo">bar</a>, <a rel="vote-abstain" href="http://thislink.foo">bar</a>, <a rel="vote-against" href="http://thislink.foo">bar</a>?

              Yo folks involved with/aware of the VRT project: Whatchya' think?
