I found the spec below in te WilBur 3.2 help files.
Also, the Wilbur help files used this feature.

LINK - Site structure

Appearance:	<LINK REL=string HREF="">URL>
Attributes:	REL=string|REV=string, HREF="">URL, TITLE=string
Contents:	None (Empty).
May occur in:	HEAD.

LINK is used to indicate relationships between documents. There are two possible relationships: REL indicates a normal relationship to the document specified in the URL. REV indicates a reverse relationship. In other words, the other document has the indicated relationship with this one. The TITLE attribute can be used to suggest a title for the referenced URL.

Some possible values for REL and REV:

REV="made"

Indicates the creator of the document. Usually the URL is a mailto: URL with the creator's e-mail address. Advanced browsers will now let the reader comment on the page with just one button or keystroke.

REL="stylesheet"

This indicates the location of the appropriate style sheet for the current document.

The following LINK tags allow advanced browsers to automatically generate
a navigational buttonbar for the site. For each possible value, the
URL can be either absolute or relative.

REL="home"

Indicates the location of the homepage, or starting page in this site.

REL="toc"

Indicates the location of the table of contents, or overview of this site.

REL="index"

Indicates the location of the index for this site. This doesn't have to be the same as the table of contents. The index could be alphabetical, for example.

REL="glossary"

Indicates the location of a glossary of terms for this site.

REL="copyright"

Indicates the location of a page with copyright information for information and such on this site.

REL="up"

Indicates the location of the document which is logically directly above the current document.

REL="next"

Indicates the location of the next document in a series, relative to the current document.

REL="previous"

Indicates the location of the previous document in a series, relative to the current document.

REL="help"

Indicates the location of a help file for this site. This can be useful if the site is complex, or if the current document may require eplanations to be used correctly (for example, a large fill-in form).

Notes:

• Support for the LINK tag is currently very limited, although it may be useful for site maintenance.
