The latter is bogus, as colons in conversation are generally followed by a space: as in this sentence. Also, plain-text sentences using a colon, followed by an equal sign, and preceded by a hash, and without spaces, #are:extremely=unlikely. I've added this as an issue, to the "spec", but it's not really a spec, just a wiki page at PBWiki, describing how hastags might be used.

We shouldn't invent new ways of doing things, where existing methods can be reused. @jon - How would you envisage that working, and how would it differ from the “triple tag” format described above?
