Seeing the tag implementation on Operator has made me question the existing tagging standard. With wordpress you may get something like "?cat=13" for a tag or something that may not even be the intended tag at all.
Agreed, the default behaviour is very clear and easy to understand, but I'd quite like to see some sort of escaping mechanism for overriding the tag value. Maybe <a href="http://example.com/?tag=foo"; title="foo">Foo</a>? It could bear looking at but I'd want to check through the mailing list archives to see what has previously been discussed.
I still don't see why the standard extracts the tag from the last part of the URL instead of the information inside the anchor tag. When I see a tag and click on it, I expect the visible content, not what's appended to the end of a URL. Anyone care to shed some light on this for me?
The main reason that I can see is to allow normalisation of tags across different pages. One might have <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_%28soccer%29";>Soccer</a> and the other <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_%28soccer%29";>Football</a>, for instance. -Ciaran McNulty _______________________________________________ microformats-discuss mailing list microformats-discuss@microformats.org http://microformats.org/mailman/listinfo/microformats-discuss
