Yes, I know it. It's definitely a convenient back-end feature, but what I
really need is to move the tagging functionality to the front-end, so that
one can read and tag items in one workflow, instead of zapping between
reading in the frontend and editing stuff in the backend, which is still
too much hazzle to add "just a tag" to an item. Establishing a certain
speed and efficiency in the workflow is of the essence (to me, in this
project) - so that one may "read, think and tag" in one taking.

Best wishes,
Morten :-)
