if it is a good idea to use rel and rev for popups or not. ;-)

The HTML recommendation provides a list of expected values
(http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#type-links) which doesn't include
popup. It does allow for the addition of new values if a profile is
specified. It doesn't seem that popup really describes the relationship
between the current document and the linked document (not that the items
in the expected values list do very well either...).

Can you use the class attribute for this same purpose? It is more
likely that the class attribute is being used, so you'd need to modify
it a little more carefully (e.g. <a href="foo.html class="foo"> would
become <a href="foo.html" class="foo popup">).

Hope this helps,
AWK
