While properly implementing a tag space may be slightly more
difficult[1] than other methods for some developers or
organizations, I
think the benefits far, far outweigh the cost.
I'm not arguing that, and I certainly agree. I'm asking about an
acceptable fallback for those few circumstances where implementing a
tag space is technically–or more likely, politically–not an option.

Practical alternative for some cases (using title value):
<a rel="tag" title="tagName" href="/

queryJunk=tagName">text</a>
If the ugly URL isn't enough of an explanation, consider that
front-end developers make up a majority of the converts in the
area of web standards. It is not unthinkable that a front-end
developer would want to implement rel-tag even when the server-
side developer is unwilling to implement a restful URL. There
ought to be a markup fallback.
Thanks,
