			* '''Portion of a page such as a blog post.''' Taking the lesson learned from [[rel-license]], which was subsequently applied to [[rel-tag]], a portion of a page (such as a blog post) defined by a compound microformat (e.g. an "hentry" from [[hAtom]]) may also refer to a shortened URL for that portion of the page with the use of <code>rel="shortlink"</code>.

			* '''classname alternative'''. Pages (or portions thereof) that with to reference/publish a shortlink for themselves but without directly hyperlinking to the shortlink may do so by marking up the shortlink URL in an element with <code>class</code> name of "<code>shortlink</code>".
