That looks like just what I was thinking of (and yes, tagging could
really do with multilingual functionality).

Devs - what are the prospects of OmegaWiki, or at least this bit of
its functionality, going onto Commons? The thing really crippling
Commons is bad search.

(Earlier today I floated the idea of using a template to hold tags,
and a tag search on the toolserver that would read and index them
every day, Not that I could write the latter. A bit kludgy too.)
