How to
How to link to an embed version of a page
In the the head of a post permalink page or home page, create a link with rel=embed, e.g. using markup like this, to the embed version of the page:
<link rel="embed" href="{permalink}/embed" />
where {permalink} is the original post permalink URL (or home page).
The "{permalink}/embed" is only a convention, and any URL on the same site may be used.
How to discover rel embed
Consuming code must look for a link element (<a> or <link>) with rel attribute with an embed value and use that to auto-discover the embedding URL at the href of that link element to present as a UI to publishers etc.
