rel="hub" is not allowed in Atom

[GoogleCodeExporter]

SUMMARY:

The Atom specification defines a fixed list of allowable values for the "rel" 
attribute of the link element, as well as an IANA 
registry where new values may be registered. An Atom feed that contains a rel 
value of "hub" is not therefore currently in 
compliance with the Atom spec. 

RELEVANT SECTION:  

"A feed that acts as a topic as per this specification MUST publish, as a child 
of atom:feed, an atom:link element whose rel 
attribute has the value hub and whose href"

COMMENT/REQUEST:

The authors of this protocol must make a commitment to properly register their 
new relation type with the IANA.

Sounds good to me. Any ideas who we need to bug about being added to the IANA
registry? The site with the relations looks like a wiki, but it isn't:

Ah okay found the link. I've submitted a request. Who knows how long this will 
take!
