* I can see value in using page anchors in the url, href="/mytags/automotive#hybrid".  The label/tag differentiation seems to go against the folksonomy ethos of tagging.  It is however interesting to know from which tag economy or tag scheme it came from. [[User:TaylorCowan]]

rel-tag feedback

This document is for keeping track of feedback about rel-tag, one of several microformats.

Feedback

General Questions

See the rel-tag FAQ and rel FAQ.

Issues

See rel-tag-issues.

General Comments

  • The heavy reliance on IMO poorly-conceived URL structures as "de facto best practice" means that some people who wish to provide a "tag here!" indicator in their markup can't play in your sandbox. A better solution would either take the content of the a tag as the tag, or would permit some sort of pattern-matching specification to point consumers of your tag to the "tag" portion of the URL. See rel-tag-issues. JonathanFeinberg 11:37, 9 Feb 2006 (PST)
    • I agree with the above. I'd like to implement this tagging microformat, but am unable to because my URL's don't match the restrictions. This doesn't seem to be in the spirit of microformats either, which states that they "intend to solve simpler problems first by adapting to current behaviors and usage patterns". Better to me would be to use the class attribute to tell the browser it is a tag link and the rel attribute to specify the name of the tag, ie class="tag" rel"xxx" PeterDaams 16:01, 18 Jan 2007 (EST)

The rel-tag specification is a work in progress. As additional aspects are discussed, understood, and written, they will be added. These thoughts, issues, and questions are kept in separate pages.
