Thank you Philip that is the most useful set of data I have seen for a
long time
It basically says that the whole premise that HTML5 should drop *rev*
(a) because authors use it wrong, (b) Many authors use rev-stylesheet
wrong, is a MYTH and an inaccurate assessment of the *rev* attribute
Out of the 127249 pages studied, only 0.09% actually use rev="stylesheet"
Great stuff Thanks!
