Issue Summary
We're missing a great opportunity to make our taxonomy links richer and more useful. Currently, the taxonomy links only have the href attribute (required), and nothing else. The patch changes that so that taxonomy links now look like this:
<a href="/path/to/term" title="description of term">term name</a>
The added benefit for the "semantic" web is clear; so is the added search engine optimization potential.

While we're at it, I think we should add
rel="tag"as well. I think this will make us friendlier to sites like technorati, but still have to research whether it alone is enough to make Drupal taxonomy links technorati tags.#2
Sorry, uploaded the old patch again. Here's the correct one for rel="tag".

too many buttons to push *blush*

+1
Simple, adds user friendliness and search engine juice.
#5
Patch applies cleanly, big +1 on relTag support.
#6
+!
Good ideas, patch works fine.
#7
Input validation thingie: the values for HTML attributes are plain-text and are already escaped in drupal_attributes() in l(). So the check_plain() here is unnecessary.
Other than that, looks fine.
#8
without check_plain.
#9
+1 clean, functional and transparent
#10
+1, deals with Steven's above validation concern.
Any other reason not to commit?
#11
