Hello, If you have a minute to help me with this I would be grateful and smile. I am investigating the accessibility benefit, or lack thereof, of the use of 'rel' 'next' and 'rel' 'prev' in <body>, with <a> tags, as opposed to in <head> with <link> tags. E.g.: ... </head> <body> <a href=”dogs.html rel=”prev”>Dogs</a> <a href=”cats.html rel=”next”>Cats</a> </body> While H59 (https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/H59.html) demonstrates the accessibility benefit from using <link> with 'rel' in the <head>, I cannot seem to find any measure of the benefit of implementing these 'rel' values in the <body> with <a>s. Does anyone know if it is generally accepted that as far as accessibility goes there is a comparable benefit from these two approaches, or no benefit with the BODY+A when compared to HEAD+LINK, etc? Thanks, very much, for any comments.
