John T riffs on ways to handle ambiguous tags:

Technorati is great at collecting user based tags from blog posts, when you view a tag like apple you’ll get a mix of computer and food posts.

What if there was a register for all these tags…microformats does something similar. When you include the tag review in your blog post, you append it according to what the code for review is in the register.

So... tags within categories? The whole thing is a recipe, (or a blog hack) but the ingredients are del.icio.us, freshtags..... When would it be useful to have a super-set of broader categories?
