Comment:
Drop rel=tag. It doesn&apos;t seem to be used and doesn&apos;t seem to do anything
useful.

    <thetext>It&apos;s used in at least WordPress link clouds and might to be how Technorati and such get the categories for a post. I haven&apos;t checked, though.</thetext>

Status: Rejected
Change Description: no spec change
Rationale: 

http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-tag suggests there is some use, so I&apos;m tentatively WONTFIXing this.

Cc&apos;ing tantek, though: you wrote the rel-tag wiki page, is it worth keeping this or should we drop it? If we should drop it, please reopen the bug.</thetext>
