 Noticed a couple of things that could be improved in the Tags meta box:

 - with JavaScript on, the input field label is set to the meta box title
 and it says just "Tags", maybe it should use the label provided by
 `$taxonomy->labels->add_new_item` the default is 'Add New Tag'
 - with JavaScript off, a textarea appears instead of the input field. This
 textarea doesn't have a label at all, the "Add or remove tags" text is
 just a paragraph
 - a nice improvement would be using the description below the form as
 target for an `aria-describedby` attribute (note: Press This already does
 this)
