I get the feeling you want both the rel-tag and bookmark spiders to

Do you have a specific use-case or URL you want us to look at?
otherwise we should stay away from hypothetical what ifs.
No, I don't want those spiders to behave the same way and I don't think
I've been unclear on my reasoning behind this or my use-case, which has
been presented several times. I'd rather not have wild guesses;
therefore: I, as a consumer of rel-tags, would like a way to know when
the specificity of a rel-tag changes without having to write down and
check a list of formats that change it.
I'm not suggesting that we change the semantics of rel-tag, I'm
suggesting that we add a marker that indicates where other microformats
begin so we can tell when the semantics of features change.
At any rate, Tantek said today that it is a non-issue that comes up
quite often, so at his request, I put a section on
<http://www.microformats.org/wiki/rel-tag-faq> describing his
explanation applied to my use-case, that of blogrolls.
And for the record: yes, I do understand the difference between
normative and positive specification. ~D
