9 For me, tags would be an abstract concept, related to
10
11 A) categories (as in the current dir-based category concept)
12 B) descriptions
13 C) maybe, user tastes, so they should be flexible, just like id3
14
15 I see them as an instrumental and optional thing, but I don't think
16 they should be the base of an fs-based system (because then the system
17 wouldn't be fs-based, that is).
