rel contact

rel="contact" was introduced by XFN 1.1 in 2004 and is in broad use across various social network sites (see services with XFN supporting friends lists).

Publishers should consider using the XFN 1.1 profile to explicitly specify the XFN meaning.

 rel="contact" was introduced by [http://gmpg.org/xfn/11 XFN 1.1] in 2004 and is in broad use across various social network sites (see [[hcard-xfn-supporting-friends-lists#Services_with_XFN_supporting_friends_lists|services with XFN supporting friends lists]]).
-Much later (~2007, citation needed), a draft of HTML5 redefined rel="contact" slightly differently (currently: [http://www.w3.org/html/wg/html5/#link-type3 HTML 5]).
+The HTML standard [https://html.spec.whatwg.org/#relationship-strings includes rel="contact" by reference] to XFN.
 Publishers should consider using the [http://gmpg.org/xfn/11 XFN 1.1 profile] to explicitly specify the XFN meaning.
-Parsers should assume the earlier, well established and in use XFN rel="contact" meaning unless they encounter a document explicitly labeled as HTML5 that also lacks a reference to the [http://gmpg.org/xfn/11 XFN 1.1 profile].
