You could put rel="tag nofollow" on them if it is SEO linkjuice
related.
What about usability linkjuice? I don't want my users to drift off to a
third-party site, and I don't want them presented with a huge array of
clickable options. I simply want a machine-consumable, human-readable
list of tags.
My best option here is something along the lines of:
<a href="http://tagspace.com/tag"; onclick="javascript:return false;"
style="color:inherit !important; font-style: inherit !important; [add
ever-increasing list of span-level element stylings set to inherit !
important]">tag</a>
The URL requirement for rel-tag is elegant, but it's in no way humans-
first.
This is disturbing not because of it's relation to tagging blog posts
in blogging software (which is a simple use of it) but the fact that
it's becoming a common means of labeling across microformats: it's
optional for categories in hCard, required for categories in hAtom,
required for skills in hResume (absurd!), and required for keywords
in hReview.
Rel-tag is becoming a de-facto standard for any type of taxonomy data
in microformats. As the number and complexity of microformats
increases, this is going to become a problem for implementors.
