I agree with Simon Willison' comments about this new url prefetching mechanism. It is a nice enhancement. Soon we'll hear articles about Google giving higher rankings for url's linked to with the prefetch tag and then SEO specialists and Porn sites creating splash pages with Linkrels to get google to increase their pagerank. The truth is, on DSL I don't personally feel the need for prefetching but on dial up it can sure come in handy.
