Re: smd_short_url: tiny/canonical URLs
Can be used rel="canonical" instead of rev="canonical"?
Or have I messed up something?

At the moment no. The plugin outputs rev because I thought that was how it was done (i.e. this document is also available at this, possibly shorter URL). rel means the opposite ; a forward link.
But since rev was (is? has been? I can’t keep up!) removed from the HTML 5 spec, then I guess I have no option but to add rel as an option to the plugin.
Let me think about how to offer it, and if anybody who knows more about this URL stuff can offer guidance in the meantime on how it should be done properly, please let me know. Thanks.

Hi Stef ;)
Maybe you could consider to add this schema attribute itemprop:
if ($type=="link") {
$out = '<link rev="canonical" itemprop="url" href="'.$link.'" />';
}
