This sounds like "if all do this, it is good", which is likely to be
counterproductive. Nonetheless, Alexander, Asbjørn, and Lachlan, among
others, gave excellent feedback on the entire problem so far.

In my opinion, if something doesn't make any sense, it /must/ be treated
accordingly (for example, ignored), and one /could/ start to look for
alternatives.

Nonetheless, what about 'rel="unrelated"'? It could "complete" existing link
types [1] and could also allow for specific handling - if someone links to
an "unrelated" resource, Google & Co could interpret it accordingly, by
ignoring it, by reducing its importance, whatever.
