Are we can join in the exterior links (rel="nofollow") , preventing wikispam?
I think that it should be in a new XML namespace, not in the XHTML one,
if we are talking about XHTML documents. Something like
<html
xmlns:gsp="http://www.google.com/ns/googlespam-1/">
...
<a gsp:nofollow="1">...</a>
</html>
The reason is that someone else might want to use(or already be using)
nofollow for some other purpose(especially since it is not very
intuitive as to what it does, perhaps norank would be better).
In terms of using it with Wiki, perhaps this should interact with
validation(when it is implemented) or patrolling in some way. An ad hoc
approach would be to drop the nofollow in links first added in a change
which has already patrolled pages. This would, however, require that
this state be stored , maintained, and read in some way on a per-link
basis, which may be to costly to justify(unless it also offered some
other benefit to the Wiki users).
