ISSUE-124: nofollow/noreferrer not allowed on <link>
rel-limits
nofollow/noreferrer not allowed on <link>
- State:
- CLOSED
- Product:
- pre-LC1 HTML 5 spec
- Raised by:
- Julian Reschke
- Opened on:
- 2010-09-15
- Description:
- There has been some objection to the nofollow, noreferrer and bookmark relations being limited to the <a> and <area> elements:
"It's unclear why these link relations can not appear on a <link> element (the
same could be asked about "bookmark" and "external", but let's focus on these
for now)....
The reasoning: 'to simplify UA requirements' doesn't compute; by treating <a>
and <link> differently you actually make things more *complicated*."
Others argue that this makes things simpler.
"iI's totally unclear why bookmark is restricted to
<a>/<area> - why shouldn't it also provide a permalink for the whole document
when appearing on <link>?
This is an arbitrary restriction which just complicates the registry (no matter
where it is; separate issue)"
The scope of this issue is keeping or removing this limitation on nofollow, noreferrer and bookmark relations.
