In #52, the "nofollow" rel attribute was added to links.

This was a good idea, however for formatting and displaying untrusted user data, the ability to force rel="ugc" would be better.

Please see:

It's fine to use "nofollow" instead of "ugc", however "nofollow" is meant for links that are part of the website and just musn't be followed. The correct annotation for user-provided URLs is "ugc" instead.
