Should we exclude rel=nofollow by default? #309

Description

@tunetheweb

We've discovered that WooCommerce "add to basket" buttons are regular links. Now of course that breaks all sorts of GETs should be idempotent but such is the web.

They do implement a rel=nofollow to prevent search engines following such links. We're going to add it to our WordPress plugin, but I wonder if that's something we should do by default since it seems like a good sign that it's unexpected to be followed by bots and only by real humans.

Not sure if this is a spec question, or should be up to individual implementers so raising here first.
