Tagging is popular with bloggers; from casual observation, it seems to 
be less so with other publishers (one reason for this may be that it 
requires the target URLs to be of a certain format, which, if they are 
not to be external, may not suit the CMS in use).

Perhaps we should take more care, in future, to ensure that tags are 
only includes in microformat specs if the gathered evidence suggests 
that publishers are already using them?
