There's often information in the full URL that allows you to place a tag in context, so a clever enough bit of software should be able to figure out that http://flickr.com/photos/tags/stars/clusters/night-sky-longexposure/ is related to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stars but not to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stars_%28UK_band%29 Slightly outside the boundaries of microformats tags, since they only use the last portion of a URL.
I wrote something this morning that uses phrases, not single words, as tags. Seems to work reasonably well with Operator. The URL is http://www.nmm.ac.uk/rog/2008/01/will_an_asteroid_hit_mars_in_j.html if you want to use it as an example or a test case.
