Comment (by markjaquith):

 Or that. ;-)

 Unfortunately, parsers will have to continue to write code specifically to
 handle WordPress (maybe looking for {{{?cat=N}}})  Even if some other
 people started using the link text to specify the tag, as we do, parsers
 would have to code specifically for those circumstances too.  There's no
 reliable way to figure "hey, this rel-tag link probably doesn't mean for
 'wordpress'  or 'blog' to be the tag... let's use the link text!"
 Definitely a problem with the spec, but our solution isn't exactly a clear
 path forward, unless we're expecting all other users of the spec to switch
 to using the link text as the tag indicator.
