Nice idea. Here's a few things to consider:

- adding tags to any open file, not just via dired

- tag completion when searching for tags

- tag completion when adding new tags (to promote resuing existing
tags)

- showing current tags a file have, editing them, removing tags (maybe
in a special buffer)

- when searching for files with tags the user should be able to specify
multiple tags, not just one,  when further tags are specified (with
completion) only those tags are offered  which have an intersection
with the previous ones, (see del.icio.us)

- renaming tags, deleting tags


etc.
