Well, that may be a point

If the rev attribute will some day be dropped, then there would automatically 
be no legal way to use rev="vote-for". But this is out of scope for 
microformats. This is up to the w3c

But then, if the rev attribute will be dropped, why not define a semantics for 
rel="vote-for"?
