Why not use the existing category system for tags, and JavaScript for "rollover"? http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:Valeriana_officinalis_2...
Yeah, Magnus' contraption is already usable on commons. It just hasn't had its breakthrough yet. I find the limitation to categories to be a hindrance. I'd prefer arbitrary Wikilinks (or even multiple language links to Wikipedias per tag). This would dramatically increase the number of taggable objects per image and make tagging more attractive IMO.
No technical problem there. It's just that categories provide an easier "backlink".
Cheers, Magnus
