citeRel

Eran has done some work to revive the stagnated conversation about citeVia. He says citeRel is the new citeVia:

With citeVia, Ryan and I tried to expose the relation between two blog posts. We limited ourselves to just one type of relation but there are others: comments, replies and revisions are all possible types of related documents. We discussed this last night and we now want to expand citeVia.

I think the changes he suggests are great for adding some meaning to the links we using in blogging. He lists via, reply-to and update as potential link-relations between posts. I’d like to add one more- forward. Why? Because that’s what I’m doing right now–I’m forwarding, with comment) his message on to you, my readers (you should do the same).
