Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: The only implementations I could find of rel-tag consumers all worked at the page level, not the section level.
Comment 2 Jean Hominal 2010-04-14 10:16:30 UTC 
After some research, I have come to the conclusion that the only confusion is one of wording - that I thought that the rel="tag" attribute could only be applied if the tag in question concerned the entirety of the page.

Thank you for your consideration.
