Nice.  That is at least a workable solution.  I don't see too much issue
with that except there will be a bunch of taxonomies created ( 1/user )
which I can hide from the UI in the backend.  This isn't a production site
so unless there is an issue I am not seeing this will work.  I would be
interested in hearing what your idea of the negative 'implications' might
be.
