No.
rev="rev" would mean that Chapter 8 is the previous page to Chapter 7
which is not usually the case.
Rev and rel work like this.
If A has a rel="foo" with respect to B
Then B has a rev="foo" with respect to A.
So in your original example, you could write
<link href="chapter_7.html" rel="prev" rev="next" />
<link href="chapter_9.html" rel="next" rev="prev" />
As Chapter 7 is previous to Chapter 8, and hence the reverse is true:
Chapter 8 is next to Chapter 7. Likewse, Chapter 9 is next to Chapter
8 and the reverse is that Chapter 8 is previous to Chapter 9.
However, other than rev="made" there is no support at all for rev
values so you might as well forget them entirely.
