Graham:  See del.icio.us. Someone's "apple" tag may relate to their
career in fruit, while my "apple" tag may relate to computers... but
in most cases, there's enough overlap for del.icio.us to do useful
things.

Same thing here. My "Flash" animation category may not really relate
to the "Flash" category on an exhibitionist porn site, but I'm betting
I'll get more good matches than bad over time. Particularly when
dealing with the finite universe of my desktop aggregator.

Naturally, folks with numeric IDs or whatever won't be able to cash in
on random connections, but those are the folks who will be most likely
to add @scheme and @label to their elements.
