Comment (by pbiron):

 I opened an bug against the W3C Validator on this (see [1]).

 Per the response from the W3C Validator team, all that needs to happen is:

 1) someone needs to write a Specification on what @rel='category' means.
 That spec can be VERY simple, doesn't have to be formal. See [2] for an
 example of how simple such a spec can be[[BR]]

 2) post that spec in a publicly available place...could probably be done
 as just an extra section to the docs on get_the_category_list ()
 [3].[[BR]]

 3) update the Microformats wiki entry for "category" [4] to include a link
 to that spec in the Specification field[[BR]]

 4) remove the Microformats wiki entry for "category tag" (since it really
 shouldn't be there in the first place)[[BR]]

 5) notify the W3C Validator team of the update, by either adding a comment
 to the bug report I filed [1] or sending email to www-validator @ w3.org;
 they will then modify validator.w3.org to accept @rel='category'[[BR]]

 I would volunteer to do the above but I don't know what @rel='category' is
 supposed to mean so I couldn't begin to write the spec.  If someone else
 wants to write the text for the spec (i.e.,step 1) and send it to me, I'd
 be happy to do steps 2-5[[BR]]
