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.

It won't be cool for those people who use system that don't see the hierarchy. 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>
