What Ryan is saying is that tags without links have been considered and rejected long ago. Kevin, I have a feeling you have a longer more detailed explanation of why requiring tag-spaces are a good thing. Perhaps you could start a rel-tag FAQ and add that info there: http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-tag-faq Thanks, Tantek _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
