Some parsers will still treat that as a single tag, but others

It won't be cool for those people who use system that don't see the
hierarchy.
I'm not sure what you mean by "won't be cool." It doesn't break any
functionality as far as I can tell, and successfully adds
functionality for systems that support it (e.g. Foxylicious). People
are already using parent.child syntax for tags [1] [2], and it seems
to be working just fine.
Why not use two links:
<a href="http://members.optusnet.com.au/benjamincarlyle/benjamin/
blog/software">software</a>/<a href="http://members.optusnet.com.au/
benjamincarlyle/benjamin/blog/software/
httpsubscription">httpsubscription</a>
You could, but that doesn't give leave any indication that
httpsubscription is meant as a subset of software. Not particularly
important in this case, but "politics.green" is quite different from
"construction.green" or "color.green".
