Interesting. What they seem to be proposing is to store the tags for each article in a plain text field, and then use the built-in MySQL full-text search mechanism to index and search that, thus taking advantage of all the development already devoted to speeding up general-purpose full text search.
I wonder how it would scale to Wikipedia's vast datasets?
