http://www.purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/link

Some of which is in RSS 2.0 and Blogger is now using an updated version 
of the mod_link spec which I actually have to release tomorrow now that 
I think about it.

The problem with rdfs:seeAlso is that no semantics are preserved.  It is 
just a URL.

- what content type is it?
- what language?
- what format?
- what relationship type?

rdfs:seeAlso is useless if you need semantics.  If is essentialy a 
synonym for <a href="">
