They use the markup: <a href="http://www.aggiegeeks.com/wordpress/?cat=3" title="View all posts in General" rel="category tag">General</a> when the rel-tag spec says that the last path component defines the tag. They should only use rel="tag" when the plug-in that makes proper tag urls is running. Thanks for the warning, I'll adjust our spiders to cope. I suggest using the bunnytags plugin if you can't use the correct tag urls Actually, it’s Wordpress’s tag support that is broken. They use the markup:
