They might, but IME most systems don't e.g; slashcode. It's a bit of a
pain to do well though, because you have to quote the the string just
so you can have a space, rather than remove it. This has knock-on
effects and just doesn't seem to be worth it. I'm not convinced that
the value of a tag 'foo bar' over 'foobar or 'fooBar' merits the
complication. Such tags also uglify the cloud because you'd have to
include some sort of delimiter to know that two words are part of a
single tag; in general you might be able to know based on alphabetical
sorting or tag size, but without the delimiter it would be harder to
read with a glance. Finally, tags are (IMHO) meant to be keywords,
not sentences :-P
