Maybe I'm crazy, but a canonical URL is different from an hAtom permalink. Besides, its a canonical URL for the whole document and not just a portion of a page

Maybe I'm crazy, but a canonical URL is different from an hAtom permalink.
Besides, its a canonical URL for the whole document and not just a portion of a page. How does Google know what the scope of a given rel=bookmark is? What if people already use it, and using it in a way with a slightly different way would pollute hAtom?
- IsaacSchlueter 18y agoWell, that's why you'd use a <link> tag instead of a <a> tag. Link tags in the head are information about the whole document. Anchor tags are more vague in their semantics, and in the context of an hAtom item, <a rel="bookmark"> would be the link to the canonical URL for that item. For a document, <link rel="bookmark"> would be the canonical URL for that document. As in, "If you are looking to save or bookmark this document's URL, you should do it using this URL over here."
