But in this case - rel is part of the HTML spec and should be used
correctly.  Can't assume any HTML is ever actually used semantically,
beyond recommendation.

Generally these are the ones that pre-date the "microformats" movement.

I'd say the name-space aids humans too.  It's much easier for a
developer to spot the usage in amongst their code if the names stand
out amongst their other classes.
