something:somethingelse=somethingspecific

• adactio: The confusion probably comes from the fact that we're using the word tag to refer to two very different things:
• adactio: rel-tag is all about the value in the href attribute (specifically the last portion)>
• adactio: A machine tag is a string of text.
• adactio: It doesn't even need to be a link.
• adactio: You *can* combine the two in one a element but they don't overlap at all.
• monkinetic: so are machine tags not considered part of rel=tag?
• adactio: No, absolutely not.
• monkinetic: oooooooh
• monkinetic: i always thought they were simply a kind of rel=tag
• adactio: Nope. They are a piece of text with a specific strucure:
