Now I want it to make sense of a hierarchical category system:
<a

I think the current proposal would tag this as
"software/httpsubscription", when in fact it really means two tags:
"software"+"httpsubscription".

No, it would tag it as 'httpsubscription'
Tagspaces are defined to be flat.

Note that dot ('.') makes a decent hierarchy marker with no required change for flat tag systems. Foxilicious [1] uses dot as a default delimiter for converting from the (mostly) flat tag space at del.icio.us to the hierarchy of Firefox's bookmarks. So you could do:

<a
href="http://members.optusnet.com.au/benjamincarlyle/benjamin/blog/ software.httpsubscription">software/httpsubscription</a>

Some parsers will still treat that as a single tag, but others will treat it as a hierarchy, and even in those systems treating it as a single tag, I think "software.httpsubscription" suggests a hierarchy to many humans.
