--- You lost me on "exclude this", exclude what exactly? rel=contact
isn't symmetrical, so you might be my contact, but i'm not yours. I
can't control what you declare about me.

--- if you are subscribing to someone, then it probably at minimum
meets the definition of: someone that we have at least a "lowest form
of friendship"

Are you suggesting it isn't and we should exclude it?
