Comment:
I fail to grasp how this patch fulfills
[http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=1229920
Google's definition] of how this attribute is supposed to add semantic
value:
{{{
An author page is a page about a specific author. [...]
The rel="author" link must point to an author page
on the same site as the content page.
}}}
IMHO, all we get is a filtered list of an author's content items. This is
by no means an author page (bio, contact info, author profile) AFAICS.
Can anyone shed some light on this, besides the obvious PR value?
