Remarks
If no values are indicated, the rel property's default relationship is an empty string. This property is used only when the href property is applied.
The Offline, Search, Shortcut Icon, and Stylesheet values apply only to the link object.
The rel property is similar to the rev property, but the semantics of these two properties' link types are in the reverse direction. For example, a link from A to B with REL="X" expresses the same relationship as a link from B to A with REV="X". An anchor can have both rel and rev properties.
