Other tagging behaviour (in addition to rel-tag)

I've collected some examples of tagging behaviour, found in
the wild,
which does not use rel-tag (or at least does not do so as
currently
specified):

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

I've also proposed that some /additiona/ methods of tagging
be made
available:

        <http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-tag-other-
evidence#Brainstorming>


    *   Using the element contents:

                <a class="tag"
                   href="http://example.
com/?cat=111">
                   Anthony Davis
                </a>

        Advantage: visible data used.


    *   Using the element title:

                <a class="tag ufusetitle"
                   title="cheese"
                   href="http://examp
le.com/?cat=cheese">
                   All sorts of cheese
                </a>

        Advantage: compatible with other proposed uses of
title
        attributes (replacing the abbr-design-pattern):

                <http:/
/microformats.org/wiki/title-trigger>


This would require parsers to be updated, and to have an
agreed
hierarchy (say, rel-tag trumps element value, trumps title)
in case more
than one method is present; but would be
backwards-compatible.

(Class names are for illustrative purposes only.)
