The source code!  :-)

Ah, but Lynx supports a lot of odds and ends for historical reasons,
and additionally it supports some non-standard usages just to help its
users out.  I wouldn't use the _mere_ presence of support in Lynx as
a motivation to use it in WWW documents.

Go to http://lynx.isc.org/current/lynx2-8-4/src/HTML.c

and search for the first appearance of HTML_LINK_REL

Scroll down a couple of screens and you'll find a list of supported
values, with a few lines of comment explaining why.

I checked a somewhat older version of the source that I have; it
doesn't seem to have changed materially.

Does that answer your question?
