They are extremely similar and not that useful to have separately. Posted from: 95.34.115.33 by annevk@opera.com 43109 1 hober0 2010-12-06 23:09:46 +0000 If you're going to remove one of them, remove rel=index. rel=archives has far more real-world usage: http://blog.unto.net/web/a-survey-of-rel-values-on-the-web/ 43110 2 julian.reschke 2010-12-06 23:10:16 +0000 Disagreed. HTML5 currently breaks rel=index (I think this is ISSUE-118). Once it gets back it's correct definition, the situation will look different. That being said, I don't see much overlap even given the current definitions. 43111 3 annevk 2010-12-06 23:11:55 +0000 Good point. My site uses rel=archives once again. For as long as I think these are useful to use, anyway. 44077 4 ian 2011-01-11 00:52:29 +0000 (punting pending issue resolution) 46166 5 ian 2011-03-02 01:06:23 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.

For more details, see this document: http://dev.w3.org/html5/decision-policy/decision-policy.html Status: Partially Accepted Change Description: see diff given below Rationale: I removed it entirely, based on the precedent the chairs established for rel=index. 46167 6 contributor 2011-03-02 01:06:39 +0000 Checked in as WHATWG revision r5925. Check-in comment: Drop support for rel=archives and any related synonyms. http://html5.org/tools/web-apps-tracker?from=5924&to=5925 46617 7 julian.reschke 2011-03-10 18:29:09 +0000 I'm unhappy with the way this change was applied (in the context of resolving an unrelated WG decision, 128), and thus would appreciate if we confirm that this change actually increases WG consensus. Thoughts: - Anne raised this then later changed his mind (see comment 3). - Both Edward and I recommended to keep it. - Mike Smith registered the link relation with IANA in good faith; removing it from the spec at this stage requires a change to the registry. - I don't believe any good reason was given for the removal that wouldn't also apply to many other link relations in the spec (such as "external", just to name one). 46628 8 annevk 2011-03-11 08:07:31 +0000 I only changed my mind insofar that removing "index" instead as suggested in comment 1 was fine with me too. However, that was only insofar I cared about these values to begin with, which is not much. They are removed from my site. 48208 9 ian 2011-05-06 19:42:58 +0000 Since the request here is to check if we have consensus, reassigning to a chair. 52393 10 mike 2011-08-04 05:00:59 +0000 mass-moved component to LC1 60187 11 mike 2011-11-20 14:36:45 +0000 Note comment #9: > Since the request here is to check if we have consensus, reassigning to a > chair. So this bug is waiting on action by the chairs. 76417 12 eoconnor 2012-10-16 17:38:14 +0000 EDITOR'S RESPONSE: This is an Editor's Response to your comment.
