Directory Inclusion Brainstorming
This page is dedicated to brainstorming ways to do distributed directory inclusion, based on the research done in directory-inclusion-examles and directory-inclusion-formats.

Questions
- Is rel-tag sufficient?
- Probably not. There's lots of cases where there are preexisting directory links, which are not taggable. It would be nice to have the ability to make those explicit. - Ryan
Straw proposal
- rel="directory" - thoughts by Tantek
- indicates that the referenced resource is a directory which does or should contain the current page. Note that this has some resemblance to (but with important differences from) several existing HTML4 rel values: Contents, ToC, Index, Appendix. A directory implies something more though, perhaps aspects like pointing to a bunch of things at different locations/sites, perhaps one or more canonical orderings (whether alphabetical or by some other metric). I know this is a bit rough, but I ran the idea past a few key folks at FOO Camp (David Weinberger, Josh Kinberg, Blaine & Rabble of ODEO), and after a bit of discussion it seemed to make sense to them too.
