[microformats-discuss] Some questions about rel="tag"

Sorry it translates:

Thats was funny :-). The nice thing of this approach is that you could
have more complex url schemes, ie:

>        RewriteEngine On
>        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/tag/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/
>        RewriteRule ^(.*) /foo/tag.php4?Tag=%1&Cluster=%2&Language=%3  [L]

which would translate something like:

http://www.example.com/tag/red/colors/english/

to:

http://www.example.com/tag.php4?Tag=red&Cluster=colors&Language=english
