What is the <A W3MIRHREF> tag in HTML?

in a .html file I have found the following code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "html.dtd">
<HTML>

    <P><A W3MIRHREF="http://www.myCompany.org/division/subdivision/repec/handle/wpaper/wp-02-01.rdf" HREF="wp-02-01.rdf">wp-02-01.rdf</A></P>
</HTML>

What exactly mean the W3MIRHREF attribute? I never see it, I always say the classic tag

What is this? and for what is used?

Tnx

Andrea

This attribute is added to a link by w3mir utility:

w3mir is a all purpose HTTP copying and mirroring tool. The main focus of w3mir is to create and maintain a browsable copy of one, or several, remote WWW site(s).

This particular attribute is used to store a link to the original document.

The W3MIRHREF has no meaning in any HTML recommendation.

I'd speculate that it is a regular href attribute with a bunch of random characters prepended to it so that browsers will ignore it. i.e. w3mir is a pseudo-comment.
