    <thetext>Given rel=&quot;foo&quot;:

   relList.remove(&apos;foo&apos;);

...leaves an empty rel=&quot;&quot;. Seems weird that that would be non-conforming.</thetext>

    <thetext>For example in a blog editor, where you&apos;re changing the link to have or not have rel=external as the user decides what the link should point to.</thetext>
