While (very) sympathetic to Andy's point about this, we're getting to
the danger point of semantically forking rel-tag. I suspect you will
get strong pushback on this one, because the current approach is to
use rel-tag for this, and if that needs to be fixed, it needs to be
fixed and the problem should be addressed there.

I think we may be extending the semantics of rel-tag beyond usefulness here. I don't think every open-ended list of grouping terms should be considered tags. Another similar example is hCard departments. Should those be using rel-tag too? I think there's actually a subtle semantic difference between tags and other grouping terms, though I'm not sure exactly what it is. Regardless, this is apparently not a point of consensus yet, and I'd suggest we proceed without genre for now, intending to add it later when rough consensus is reached, and still have a useful microformat before then.
