Well, I suggest you read the following: http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/types.html#type-links That gives a clear explanation of the various link types and what they can be used for. I can various uses for these various link types in the Debian docs, e.g. a search engine, easy access to glossary or index, etc. The possibilities are definitely not limited to a simple 'prev', 'next', 'up'. Why not unleash the power these link types give us to make the Debian documentation set much more easy accessible for our users?
