[uf-discuss] Multi-word tagging

I intend to tag a number of pages with the title of the magazine from
which their content is sourced; "British Birds".

Are there any documented standards for two (or more) words in tags?

I note that Technorati treats:

        google-search
and
        google+search

and synonymous.

It also treats:

        google_search
and
        googlesearch

as synonymous, but different from my first two examples. (I would have
expected my first three examples, but not the latter, to be considered
equivalent.)


Some time ago, I documented a number of popular websites' formats for
two-word URLs, at:

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

but that's not to say that those patterns are necessarily used by those
sites, or preferred by others, for tags.
