Under the page:
http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0/docs/pages/page-links.html
under the section,
"Back" button links
it says,
"Also, please keep in mind that if you just want a reverse transition without actually going back in history, you should
use the data-direction="reverse" attribute instead."

Its not clear if data-direction is to be used with any other attribute. But data-direction does not seem to work properly if proper href value is not used. Is this a bug? Or a documentation bug? Does data-direction need the correct href value to work properly?

There is more detailed documentation in this section that using data-rel will ignore href even if available (in "good" browsers). Please check the behavior on data-direction.
