What about an xFolk link with a tag of <http://wikipedia.org/wiki/NSFW>?
Should that imply that the containing page is not safe for work?

Well if an item on a page is tagged NSFW doesn't that mean the page is
NSFW?  I must confess I'm not 100% familiar with xFolk.

rel-tag is reusable. It applies to whatever contains it. Well, except
under specific circumstances which are documented in the other formats
in which it has been reused, then it only applies to a sub-container,
which we didn't mark in a generic way.

I'm just looking for a generic scoping mark. ~D

My point is that rel-tag doesn't have any scope, and I'm sort-of
arguing it doesn't need it.

Take the example of a page that contains:

* An hAtom entry tagged with 'FOO'
* An hCard with the category 'BAR'

An hAtom parser will correctly note that the only rel-tag in the hAtom
entry is 'FOO' and so that's the category for the entry.  An hCard
parser will note that the only rel-tag inside the hCard is 'BAR, and
so that category applies to the card.

However, a generic rel-tag parser doesn't need to know "don't look
inside hAtom and hCard", as you seem to be suggesting.  Any rel-tags
it finds may be applied to the page itself quite fairly, and so a
rel-tag parser would say 'this page contains something relevant to FOO
and something relevant to BAR.

Does that make sense?
