I've been reading the new draft standard of XHTML 2.0, and in the midst
of wading through obscure tags that I was shocked to realize have been
part of HTML for a decade without ever being used but are still there, was
reminded of a couple things we could do:
Interlanguage links should produce <link> tags to go in the <head>
section, such as:
<link title="This article in Swahili"
rel="alternate"
lang="sw"
href="http://sw.wikipedia.org/..." />
And also:
<link title="Printable version"
rel="alternate"
media="print"
href="http://....?printable=yes" />
and perhaps:
<link title="Wikipedia copyright"
rel="copyright"
href="http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Copyrights" />
Will it have any practical results? I dunno. But it sounds exciting and
standards-compliant!
