Just for clarification, are we still talking category
intersections?
Or would a separate tagging system, in parallel to categories, be a
better way?
* No messing with the existing category system
* Tagging/untagging without editing (?)
* No need to alter categories (tree) to fit new tagging scheme (flat),
preserving categories and not cluttering tagging with "category
leftovers"
* Selective seeding of tags with categories
* Make (technically) sure tags are always "defined", so multiple
equivalent tags, can use integer IDs internally, etc.
Ugh. Tags and categories are logically identical, except that tags
traditionally have a little less semantic info attached (no sub-tags).
If a new system is implemented, we want to have a transition from
categories to the new system, not have them coexist redundantly for
all time.
