I think it would be useful if the tag (when linked with the 'a'/'area' element) applies to its nearest article or body element ancestor, instead (which is the case for the 'address' element, too). Thereby a page listing several articles could make use of the 'tag' keyword: <section> <h1>Recent articles</h1> <article> <h1>My first cooking lesson</h1> <p>… — <a href="/blog/cooking-lesson">Read more</a></p> <footer>Tagged with <a href="/tags/cooking" rel="tag">Cooking</a></footer> <article> <article> <h1>I scored two goals</h1> <p>… — <a href="/blog/two-goals">Read more</a></p> <footer>Tagged with <a href="/tags/football" rel="tag">Football</a></footer> <article> </section> With the current definition, the tags "Cooking" and "Football" apply to the whole page. With my proposed addition, the tag "Cooking" applies only to the first article snippet, the tag "Football" only to the second. 69354 1 res-html 2012-06-23 00:14:12 +0000 (sorry, I messed up the example; another try) <section> <h1>Recent articles</h1> <article> <h1>My first cooking lesson</h1> <p>… — <a href="/blog/cooking-lesson">Read more</a></p> <footer>Tagged with <a href="/tags/cooking" rel="tag">Cooking</a></footer> <article> <article> <h1>I scored two goals</h1> <p>… — <a href="/blog/two-goals">Read more</a></p> <footer>Tagged with <a href="/tags/football" rel="tag">Football</a></footer> <article> </section> 70517 2 contributor 2012-07-18 15:45:52 +0000 This bug was cloned to create bug 18024 as part of operation convergence. 74031 3 robin 2012-09-18 12:22:47 +0000 Same decision as https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18024
