I do think the one thing that could be problematic is that people could seriously abuse it, just adding <code>rel="spam"</code> to non-spam links. But what you say about comparing the number of spam links vs. non-spam links seems like a worthwhile solution. Have you tried suggesting it to WordPress? Seems like something they would at least consider. @Mike-

Hey Trevor,

Based on your linking to Joshua Porter’s post about spam, I’m wondering what you think about my rel=”spam” proposal?
