01-MAY-2023: The main points of this issue are to (a) make sure that https is used where appropriate (e.g. examples) and (b) add a requirements/recommendation that basically says that prev
or previous
are fine since they are synonyms of each other and more generally that rel
values with synonyms also in the IANA registry are OK.
and more generally that
rel
values with synonyms also in the IANA registry are OK.
I don't like this. This opens a rabbit hole of potential synonyms and then people implement what others may not expect. You also newer know what IANA may add in the future.
Is "chapter" a synonym of "section" or "subsection"? Is "start" a synonym of "first"? Is "up" equivalent to "parent"? Is "describedby" a synonym for "describes"? Is "index" = "contents"? ...
@m-mohr I'm only referring to link relations that IANA specifically says are synonyms ... which is the case with prev
and previous
. As far as I know, the other pairs of link relations that you mention are not specifically indicated in the IANA link registry as being synonyms for each other. I haven't checked (but I will) but I don't think there are that many cases where IANA specifically mentions that two link relations are synonyms of each other.
Ah, thanks for the clarification. So "prev" and "previous" and "icon" and "apple-touch-icon" only. I'm still not sure this needs to be mentioned at all, except explicitly for prev and previous (as it is right now, I think).
