I think the button should invoke the LINK REL UP link where it is defined.  
Otherwise it should be grayed out, as there's no sense in having undefined 
behavior. Of course, it should keep its current behavior for file management 
and ftp.

On LINK REL LEFT and LINK REL RIGHT: If there were buttons were implemented 
for these functions, it would be massively confusing for any user due to the 
already existing "back" and "forward" buttons.  Any sane site is going to 
provide its navigation scheme anyway, and we may as well not reinvent the 
wheel.
