Don't we already have tagging on Commons called "categories"? Why do we need to reinvent a wheel we already invented?
This allows in-image notation. It's all very well to upload a picture of a dozen people clustered around a table and say "this photo contains A and B on the left, and C is the one behind the potted plant, and F on the right-hand side turned partly away from the camera..." - but there are great advantages, potentially, to being able to note that directly on the image.
But in reality, I think it's a build-it-and-they-will-come situation; if you implement something, people will find an interesting and novel use for it. Witness all the fun stuff people do with categories...
