I've been investigating the rel-tag microformat - tags, basically. I've realised there are two fairly obvious problems with the spec (I imagine I'm not the first to pick up on these, of course).

My scenario: an existing application hosts articles which are to be tagged. The intended tag space (target of the tag link) is to be a page listing all documents in the application with that tag (so users can read more on the same site).

So, what are the limitations of the spec (and some ideas to alleviate the problems)?
