HTML REL and REV Attributes
The REL attribute
may be used with LINK to define a forward relationship with
another document. E.g.
<LINK rel=help href="http://some.org/help.html">
where http://some.org/help.html is a help page for the current document.
REL and REV may also be used with the anchor (A) tag.
LINK tags may only appear in the document head.

See the AML
pages.
Used with the LINK tag to indicate a reverse relationship. May be
paired with REL tag where a one-to-one correspondance exists. E.g.
<LINK rev=help href="http://some.org/index.html">
where the current document is a help page for http://some.org/index.html
Legacy use:
<LINK rev=made href="mailto:document-owner">
A hotkey in the Lynx browser will send mail to the document owner.
See HTML 3.2
The BASE tag gives the URL used to dereference relative URLs. The URL
is typically the "real" URL of the document, e.g.
<BASE href="http://vancouver-webpages.com/VWbot/metatags.detail.html">
A BASE tag is useful if the document may be copied to another location, or
accessed by another path with a symbolic link, imagemap redirect, etc.
See HTML 3.2
