[uf-discuss] Google as rel-tag namespace

[Andy Mabbett]

I have just posted this to the Wiki:

        <http://microformats.org/wiki/advocacy#rel-tag>

and reproduce it here for discussion.

#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#~#

A Google search for 'sparrow' resolves to:

        <http://www.google.com/search?&q=sparrow>

if not the unwieldy

        <http://www.google.com/search?hs=TUz&hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-GB%3Aofficial&q=sparrow&btnG=Search>

likewise:

        <http://www.google.com/search?&q=%22black+redstart%22>

for ' "black redstart" '. If Google can be persuaded to also accept,
say:

        <http://www.google.com/search/sparrow>
and
        <http://www.google.com/search/black_redstart>

as being equivalent (and will assume that the latter term searches for
' "black redstart" ', with the quote marks), then Google would become a
namespace for rel-tag.
