New submission from Trent Buck <trentbuck at gmail.com>:
The HTML standards describe LINK tags with the REL attribute set to a
specific keyword, to define relationships between pages of a document
that spans multiple pages. These links are seen for example in
docbook output, and on google's search result pages.
They are useful in Opera and Emacs-W3M, where pressing SPC scrolls
down one page length -- unless you are at the bottom of the page, in
which case it jumps to the next page.
So for example, if I am looking at a google result page, and don't see
anything interesting, I keep hitting SPC to scroll down. Jumping to
the next page (link rel=next) at th end of a page makes it "feel" more
like a single coherent document.
This approach would be very welcome on roundup result pages, too,
where the number of bugs in a search doesn't fit on a single page. So
for example when I browse to
http://bugs.darcs.net/issue?creator=twb&@pagesize=20
it shows 20 of 52 bugs; pressing SPC would take me to
http://bugs.darcs.net/issue?creator=twb&@startwith=20&@pagesize=20
and from that page, pressing DEL (Backspace) would scroll up or take
me back to the previous page in the result sequence.
