Is there any consensus yet on link rel=shorturl vs rev=canonical?

15th October 2010

My answer to Is there any consensus yet on link rel=shorturl vs rev=canonical? on Quora

It’s pretty clear from the answers that rev=canonical v.s. rel=canonical is way too confusing—so it’s down to rel=shortlink v.s. rel=shorturl.
