Revving up. Jeremy Keith advocates adding the revcanonical attribute to regular A elements as well as / instead of hiding it in the head of the document, following the microformats design principle that invisible metadata is less valuable than augmenting visible links. I’ve updated my shorten bookmarklet to handle this case.

  1. Shouldn't you also be following the microformats design principle that you never _add_ metadata to a page just so you can add a microformat? I can't see any reason why you would want to link to your shortened URL from the canonical one, particularly when it's just going to 301 back to the page you're on. I declare shenanigans.
