This discussion never really got started, so I assume that this isn't
something people are too worried about. Elias chimed in with his
preference and I agree that we should provide a path based url tag space
to conform to current standards, so that's what I am planning to do.
I'll update the proposal today.
If anyone hasn't weighed in on this and wants to, now would be the time.

This is a separate subtopic of the general url discussion going on. This
discussion centers around if/how we should define a proper tag space for
each weblog.
The current proposal is only setup to allow tags to be passed in as a
query parameter to the weblog collections view like this ...
/<weblog>?tags=tag+tag
While there is nothing functionally wrong with that it is actually
against the current web standards of providing a path based tag space.
Most sites (del.icio.us, flickr, technorati, etc) have standardized on
the convention of a tag space like this ...
myurl/tag(s)/<tag>
I think it would be appropriate for Roller to follow that convention and
thus include this in the set of new urls (when tagging support is ready)
...
/<weblog>/tag/<tag>
I prefer this one.
Thoughts? Comments?
