From the rel-tag spec ( http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-tag ):

"Tags are embedded in HTTP URIs in a well-defined manner so that the tag
embedded in an HTTP URI can be mechanically extracted from that URI.
Specifically, the last segment of the path portion of the URI (after the
final "/" character) contains the tag value."

In the world of Microformats there is only one url segment after the /
which properly encodes a tag/category/keyword/term/etc; adding a
textfield to control that wouldn't be too useful since there is only one
option for compliance with this spec.

No. The last element in the path must end in the name of the tag ("last segment of the path"). So, /something/else/here/tagname works, as does /tagname.

And microformats isn't a spec. Technorati, FWIW, reads Drupal's RSS 2.0 categories directly, without having to mangle in any tag stuff in the body of your post.

But of course, I *am* in favour of "friendly URLs" in core.

Dries: to your point that "you don't mind coming up with the name and typing it in"....that's fine for single user or editorial users, but you need to have pathauto-like functionality so that new posts (users, tags, etc.) can have friendly URLs without giving non-privileged users control over path.
