HTML5 includes the noreferrer link rel: "If a user agent follows a link defined by an a or area element that has the noreferrer keyword, the user agent must not include a Referer (sic) HTTP header (or equivalent for other protocols) in the request." [1]

Not sure about browser support, but it's implemented in at least WebKit [2].
