I’ve been looking at the Microformat rel="tag", but am a little confused as to its propper use.
From the spec:
By adding rel="tag" to a hyperlink, a page indicates that the destination of that hyperlink is an author-designated "tag" (or keyword/subject) for the current page.
What do they mean by the "destination of the hyperlink" is a "tag"?
In what situations might it be used?

It means the page that link points to will contain a list of links to other pages that are tagged by the anchor text of that link. For example, if a link looked like this:
<a href="/tags/seo" rel="tag">SEO</a>
The microformat tells the search engine, and any other user-agent, that the URL /tags/seo contains links to documents (i.e. pages, etc) that are also tagged seo, and thus related to SEO.
If you have a tag cloud, or put tags on your content pages, you would use this microformat.
