anti-design-patterns

Just as there are design-patterns to encourage and follow, there are anti-design-patterns to discourage and avoid.

• rel="formatname", e.g. rel="hcard"
  • Indicating the type of the information does not indicate the semantic. This was one of the mistakes in the design of XML-RPC and should not be propagated to rel values.
  • It doesn't capture the semantic that you are presumably attempting to capture, like "this over here is my hCard". See hCard brainstorming on auto-discovery for current thoughts on this problem.
