buy now

Becomes this:

6.12 Link types

Authors may use the following recognized link types, listed here with their conventional interpretations. In the DTD, %LinkTypes refers to a space-separated list of link types. White space characters are not permitted within link types.

So, you should perhaps be appending this to any existing comment links with a rel attribute.

it is, but not in 4.5.what do we do with these 4.5 issues. 4.5 does not get any new features, so the patch will stay in here forever... can we close it?
