    [greg-dev] Link prefetching

    Ah, yes I had forgotten about that email. The gregarius code uses <link
    rel="next" .. /> instead of  rel="prefetch" which is why I missed it.
    Firefox will not prefetch anything unless it finds a statement like the
    one above. If you set network.prefetch-next = false, then it will ignore
    those prefetching links. 
    
    Anyway, it looks like this prefetching is done for channels and items,
    but there is no prefetch for folders and categories. Is this by design?
