#17632: HTML 5 Validation issues (theme independent)

 Wordpress often adds the rel attribute to links.

 For example rel="category" or rel="attachment" etc...

 Apparently these keywords are not allowed in html 5 :

 work/multipage/links.html#linkTypes

 So the validation fails :-/

 These attributes are a bit hardcoded. You can use regex in filters or
 javascript solutions to remove them, but this is not a good solution.

 I think this problem is now a bug, if you consider the importance of code
 validation.
