    Well, actually isn't it the same as if you redirect your URLs to the preferred ones - either with the www prefix or not and index.html/index.php to the domain.
    Actually haven't you all done this yet, before the attribute was announced?
    Otherwise thanks for the news :)

    It is an easier way for the /index thing, but I don't think it substitutes with a 301 Redirect for the www

    Does this one <link rel="canonical" ....> also needed for .blogspot.com owners? For web master they understand "duplicate content",but how about the bloggers? With no such knowledge about this?

    Maybe this question should be answered:
    "Does this tip apply to blogs? If so, how would one want to implement it?"
