That's so true! Semantic annotations in the HTML header are a missed opportunity for web standards. I'm not meaning Dublin Core (https://www.dublincore.org/ https://www.dublincore.org/ -- declined somehow with SEO engineering), but relational data:
<link rel='prev' href='..." title="Previous page (about X)">
<link rel='next' href='...' title='Next page (about Y)' />
<link rel="copyright" href="..." title="Our imprint and contact infrormation">
<link rel="search" type="application/opensearchdescription+xml" href="..." title="Our Website title">
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="..." title="News from our website" />
<link rel="alternate" href="..." hreflang="de" title="German translation of XYZ">
From these six examples, modern desktop Firefox/chrome only displays adding the search engine (when clicking in the search/omni box). RSS died a long death (the availability was removed in Firefox a few months ago). And all other information was only ever displayed by the good old Opera browser, who had a special symbol bar for relational data and even overloaded the prev/next browser navigation buttons with prev/next header suggestions from the page.
