Interesting... I wonder how this would effect anything? Has anyone used these before?

I've used link rel="stylesheet" many times before.

This is just another way to add some usability to your website, but I doubt could help many people, and probably (please correct me if I'm wrong) won't help in search engines much.

Yeah, I use:

<link rel="shortcut icon" HREF="favicon.ico">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">

What's the use of the next and previous, though? Sounds kinda dumb to me.

It ensures that the previous and next pages in a series are pre-loaded for a faster user browser experience (when appropriate html code is included, of course! - you may have seen arrows at a page bottom pointing left (previous) and right (next) - a non-scripting option).

My new favourite is:
[devedge.netscape.com ]
which allows compliant browsers to show additional link info while IE can default to show "title" info only.

You can also use an alternative style sheet, and define it's name by title attribute. That will allow in some browsers to switch the style sheet on the site. So you can make sort of themes. SimpleBits uses that technique.

Example:


<link rel="alternate stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="blue.css" title="Blue" />

Ironically, that page is unusable on Mac IE because the code snippets don't show up properly. I could only tell what it was about by looking at the source code.

Ah ha! Preloading. I get it now. But it seems that this sequential model isn't really appropriate for most web sites.

Nope. I missed it.
