<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="example.css" />

With the link tag we can define a relationship type and mime type, but I’ve never seen it done. What are some examples of real uses for the other rel attributes? What sort of support issues exist?

I’m not sure what we can and cannot do with this tag, how the browser deals with it, etc…

From my own playing around, it looks like I can’t read any of the called data via JavaScript, but the browser still deals with the content.

    I am sure there are an infinate number of proprietary uses for this.
