Comment (by davidmeade):

 sorry that last reply was confusing:

 The issue isn't about compound-tags (like "wet-suit"), its about multiple
 word tags (like "wet suit")  One you go scuba diving in, and one you rush
 home from the office to change ... wordpress treats them as the same
 thing.

 The specification clearly states that spaces should be encoded as a +.
 But I cant do that.  There is no way for me to tag "wet suit" in wordpress
 (walking to work in the rain?) it forces me to use "wet-suit" (scuba
 diving).

 I can't even MANUALLY use the + to accomplish this as then wordpress just
 concatenates the two as "wetsuit".

 How to alias the various sites out there is an entirely different matter.
 The specification clearly states that spaces should be encoded as a +.
 Wordpress does not do this ... it does not even allow the user to do it
 manually.

 Wordpress isn't adhering to the specification it as half-implemented and
 thus wordpress  users aren't getting their posts tagged correctly out on
 the web.  Blogger users are. Drupal users are.  But not WordPress users.
