Hmm, interesting.  They seem like more specific versions of rel="bookmark":

   "A bookmark is a link to a key entry point within an extended
    document..."

Although, that definition is somewhat ambiguious, as HTML4 doesn't seem 
to define the meaning of "extended document".

Anyway, while on the topic of link types, what does everyone think of 
these "web communication link relationships" [1] that I worked on a few 
months ago?  It includes relationships like: permalink, feed, via, 
related, referral, pingback (borrowed from Pingback 1.0), trackback, 
etc.  Could some of these be improved and included within web apps?
