Won't fix Link type rel="menu"

[nrep]

I noticed that there are quite a few instances of rel="menu" within the XF source code for <a> tags, however that doesn't appear to be a valid link type from what I can tell.

Here's a list of the current link types within HTML5 for comparison:
https://www.w3.org/TR/html5/links.html#linkTypes

I wasn't sure if this was worth posting in the bug forum, but even if this isn't marked as a bug I'd be very grateful to know if that is a valid value for "rel" out of curiosity.

OFC a XenForo stuff would post a better answer but before that, I've found this;

Thanks, I've had a read of that, but it seems to suggest that rel="menu" isn't valid. It doesn't appear on this longer list of rel values (which includes proposals, past entries, etc...): http://microformats.org/wiki/existing-rel-values

It's technically not valid though it would generally be ignored by things that don't understand it. It's not something that will be changed now as it is used internally. (It's not used in XF2 though.)

Thanks for the explanation Mike, I'll leave it as is then .
