The rel values specified in Atom 1.0 are as follows: "alternate",
"related", "self", "enclosure", and "via".

None of these perform the referencing function as described in my post.
It is true that the rel attribute is extensible, and that values other
than the five listed above may be used, just as RSS 2.0 is very well
known to be extensible.
In my post, in fact, I explicitly described (the outlines of) an
extension rather than a change to the core. But to my knowledge, no
such extension has been discussed or proposed either for RSS 2.0 or
for the link rel element in Atom.
I can an will as needed adopt my own vocabulary for this. As I'm sure
you would agree, though, there's a big difference between me using
such an extension on my own, and the community doing it with some
commonly recognized elements. Hence, my post.
