hey... if I'm interested in proposing a new rel type for link/a, where would I post and how would I go about getting discussion started on it?

ramsey Here is good
- [02:23:06] <ramsey>
csarven: cool... well, I have two rel proposals... I'll start with one that may be easy to discuss since I'm sure it's been discussed before and can be shot down quickly ;-)
- [02:24:39] <ramsey>
I was putting some <link> tags on a blog the other day and came across a situation where I didn't know which rel to use, alternate seemed the most likely, but semantically, the feed I was linking to was not an alternate represenation of the current document, but rather, a related feed, so I chose to use "related," but it's not listed in the HTML 5 spec, nor was it on the whatwg wiki
- [02:24:54] <ramsey>
is there a reason that "related" isn't included?
- [02:25:42] <csarven>
related in what sense?
- [02:27:41] <csarven>
"related" is mentioned here http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-values
- [02:28:28] <csarven>
I think "related" is a bit vague
- [02:30:03] <csarven>
Usually when you link to another document you are making that claim.
- [02:30:10] <ramsey>
yeah, I know it's mentioned there, but it's also said that it's "now effectively obsolete"
- [02:30:37] <ramsey>
okay, that's fair enough, but in my case, what kind of relationship would i use?
- [02:30:54] <ramsey>
it's a related feed, but it doesn't represent the content of the current document
- [02:31:28] <csarven>
Do you mean related as in "similar" or as a "reference"?
- [02:31:35] <ramsey>
similar
- [02:31:58] * dglazkov (n=dglazkov@c-98-207-88-44.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #microformats
- [02:31:58] * ChanServ sets mode +o dglazkov
- [02:32:15] <ramsey>
i.e. if you like the content here, you will probably want to read the content at this other place
- [02:35:31] <csarven>
I'm trying to think how often we come across articles that says something like "this article is similar to this article"
- [02:37:18] <ramsey>
well, here's what it is, really... I have a user group web site that has a feed, but I also want to present the feed for our forum as another feed that users can subscribe to
- [02:37:44] <ramsey>
so, for example, when they choose to subscribe through Firefox, etc., it will show them the option of subscribing to the website (blog) feed or the forum feed
- [02:41:22] <ramsey>
are there any "rules" in HTML 5 (like in AtomPub) that dictate that you cannot have more than one <link> with the same rel, type, and hreflang values?
- [02:43:19] <tantek>
it's difficult to argue/discuss such a possibility in the abstract
- [02:43:30] <tantek>
do you have a URL to a real world example of a page that links to such a "related" feed?
- [02:44:00] <tantek>
bbiab
- [02:44:56] <ramsey>
tantek: http://atlantaphp.org/
- [02:48:54] <tantek>
ramsey, I've seen some use "alternate" even for secondary/subset/related feeds
- [02:48:58] <tantek>
and simply put the "primary" feed first
- [02:49:16] <tantek>
the challenge is, what do browsers/feedreaders do, and is that the user experience you want your users to have?
- [02:49:40] <ramsey>
well, right now, a browser does nothing with it
- [02:49:50] <ramsey>
I would need to specify "alternate" to get it to do something
- [02:50:00] <tantek>
right
- [02:50:28] <tantek>
in related thinking, the right column on http://atlantaphp.org/ could certainly use a little bit of hCalendar and hCard
- [02:50:59] <ramsey>
but it has the same type as the previous one, and, according to HTML 5, alternate is transitive, so, by default, the Atom feed that really is an alternate form of the current doc is also an alternate form of the Atom feed for the "forum" ?
- [02:51:05] <ramsey>
tantek: I'm working on it :-)
- [02:51:06] <tantek>
and you could add hCard to http://atlantaphp.org/
- [02:51:17] <tantek>
I mean http://atlantaphp.org/about :)
- [02:51:22] <ramsey>
that site needs much mark-up love
- [02:52:23] <ramsey>
we're working on a redesign of the site, which will include lots of microformat mark-up
- [02:52:56] <ramsey>
I also want to use hAtom
- [02:56:46] <ramsey>
anyway, so it looks like the recommendation is that "related" is not necessary and I should use "alternate" instead, even though the link really isn't to an alternate form of the current document, nor is it transitively an alternate form of the other alternate feed
- [02:56:52] <ramsey>

on a flakey net connection, might have to try again later :)
- [03:00:20] <ramsey>
not a problem
- [03:00:24] <ramsey>
my last question was:
- [03:00:28] <ramsey>
anyway, so it looks like the recommendation is that "related" is not necessary and I should use "alternate" instead, even though the link really isn't to an alternate form of the current document, nor is it transitively an alternate form of the other alternate feed?
- [03:05:59] <tantek>
or just leave the <link> out altogether
- [03:06:08] <tantek>
if it doesn't serve any user-facing function, why bother putting it in?
- [03:06:38] <ramsey>
I guess because it *could* serve as a function
- [03:06:44] * ramsey shrugs

BTW, looks like someone's trying to revive the link rev attribute... http://laughingmeme.org/2009/04/03/url-shortening-hinting/ :-)
- [03:34:41] <ramsey>
it's a pretty good use-case, too
- [03:34:58] <ramsey>
but rev is damn confusing ;-)
- [03:45:01] <tantek>
right, all evidence points to rev being too confusing in practice to be worth trying to use
- [04:06:44] <ramsey>
I do like the recommendation of using rel="alternate shorter" though, so that the canonical URL can specify a short form to use

I agree with using rel="alternate" for shorter URLs
- [04:45:17] <tantek>
but why "shorter"? shouldn't it be obvious from the length of the URL (vs the length of the URL of the document?)
