[wp-hackers] keywords in main post attributes -- what do youthink?

[Mark Jaquith]

I think a user-controlled setting would be best.  If you use a certain 
custom field a lot, you could just decide to have it always appear.

This is a feature that Expression Engine has that really had me 
excited.  I think this would go a long way towards making WordPress 
capable of handling projects out of the range of a simple blog tool, but 
not big enough to warant a full-on CMS.
