It's pretty easy to do arbitrary content tagging (and filtering now). You just add a template or external link to the page. E.g. {{PG-13}}.
Then all some third party has to do is to download templatelinks.sql.gz (or externallinks.sql.gz) in addition to the image dump.
You just have to start getting people to tag things consistently. The good thing is that you can start now without any additional software support.
The dumps would have to be done fairly regularly if not daily (would that even be possible, especially on the bigger sites) for them to be really use for outside [filtering] companies to use them, And in a easy format, If it would take them to long to work it out, they would probably just block everything instead of wasting time on it.
