Removing @rev is harmful for Lynx because that is how it decides who the<br>

Removing rev="" from the spec doesn't preclude Lynx still supporting it<br>
for legacy documents, and for new documents, rel=author is preferred and<br>
is trivially supportable given support for rev=made, so I don't think<br>
this is a particularly convincing argument.<br>

For what it's worth, I always press 'c' before going hunting for a contact address. It usually doesn't work, but that's life I guess.<br>

Ian: would it be too much to have the spec say that @rev is valid if and only if its value is "made" or "owner"?<br>
That way I can continue supporting older versions of lynx until people have updated to a version supporting rel=author<br>
<br>
I generally prefer lynx over links, w3m and such when I'm ssh'd into another machine, so I don't know much about them, but if they also support @rev then that would be more reason to keep it in with these fixed values.<font color="#888888"><br>
