Stephen,
Considering the fact that many tagclouds are based on actual numerics
(ie, 50 bookmarks on this tag), it might be nice to have access to
that information further than just a rating. imho, styling is not the
microformat's job, the implementor can add extra classes or whatever
to make that work if title isn't good enough for that.
while it might be nice, I think the uf exhortation to capture current
practice rather than innovate is really valuable.
In following the one true process :-) I found that only one of the
documented tagclouds, zoomclouds (and indeed other tagclouds, I
didn't document all I looked at for everyone's sake) actually
conveyed an exact count of the tags used, as opposed to a relative
popularity.
In the keeping it as simple as possible mode, I thus didn't suggest
this feature for .01.
One problem with absolute numbers like these is that they may not be
all that useful Technorati might have
blogging [1,234,456,009]
while web connections might have
blogging [54]
Yet this probably isn't all that interesting. The fact that
"blogging" belongs to the category of most popular tags at technorati
and web connections is the interesting thing (well, at least as far
as current practice goes)
