#18128: Remove unsupported sequential link types
--------------------------+-----------------------------

Priority: normal | Milestone: Awaiting Review
Component: Validation | Version: 3.2.1
Severity: normal | Keywords: needs-patch
--------------------------+-----------------------------
All sequential link types used in WordPress, with the exception of the
link rel='prev' and link rel='next' that are output by
adjacent_posts_rel_link_wp_head, are unsupported by any browser or
assistive device.
These were considered in the early drafts of the HTML5 spec but were
officially removed last year. See: [http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public
/public-html/2010Nov/0042.html]
Now that the default theme shipping with WordPress is using HTML5 it makes
sense to remove the unsupported link types. Leaving them in invalidates
TwentyEleven and once the HTML testing tools are improved this will become
obvious to users.
Recommend removing the relevant functions from link-template.php and the
actions from default-filters.php
