 As the title states, when using wp_link_pages(), we should throw in
 rel="next" and rel="prev" for good SEO practice. I understand that there
 are other methods of achieving this but with more complicated sites this
 becomes very difficult to effectively pull off without breaking other
 features.

 I don't see a reason that we can't roll this into the core, it seems to
 make sense that anywhere you would use wp_link_pages() should also use
 these attributes.

 I will try to work up a patch at some point.
