Xhtml Friends Network

XFN(tm) (XHTML Friends Network) is a simple way to represent human
relationships using hyperlinks. In recent years, blogs and blogrolls
have become the fastest growing area of the Web. XFN enables web
authors to indicate their relationship(s) to the people in their
blogrolls simply by adding a 'rel' attribute to their <a href> tags,
e.g.:

<a href="http://jeff.example.org" rel="friend met">...
