<div>This is for brainstorming ideas around '''tagcloud''' formats<br />

==First pass analysis==<br />
From a visual and logical perspective, tagclouds have a reasonably small number of common components, and largely all focus on the same problem. They are typically<br />
<br />
* an alphabetically ordered list of links to a tag space — occasionally the order is by popularity. <br />
* the links are usually single words<br />
<br />
While it is possible to imagine other ways of representing tags, like most recent, using a tag cloud, in the examples considered all show popularity, albeit over different time scales. Typically the times scales are<br />
<br />
* most commonly, all time popularity<br />
* less frequently popularity over the last week and<br />
* popularity ver the last 24 hours<br />
<br />
On the ground, things become more complicated.<br />
===the root elements===<br />
Typically, but not always, there is a root element, with a class or id value.<br />
Root elements include the following elements<br />
<br />
* p<br />
* div<br />
* ul<br />
* td<br />
<br />
And are given the following class and/or id values<br />
