David Weinberger, on his JOHO (Journal of the Hyperlinked Organization), examines the need to have an open, and persisting service that maintains a namespace for tags created for each blog post.

One commenter also provides the correct code for linking to Wikipedia.
David, any chance there'll be a Taggercon any time soon?
Here are tags linking to these Web sites: Technorati: tags; Wikipedia: tags
