Comment (by jhodgdon):

 OK. It would need parts of 2 GPL plugins.

 One is Advanced Tag Entry, available for download from this web page:
 http://poplarware.com/tagplugin.html -- that plugin has functionality
 around (a) getting the list of all tags in the DB (b) attaching and
 detaching tags to the post from the DB (c) adding new tags to the DB
 (using AJAX)

 The other isn't "out for public consumption and support" yet (if ever), so
 I'll attach it shortly. It's called Group Tag Entry, and the functionality
 needed from there is type-ahead -- when you type tags into the "free tag
 entry" field on the edit screen, it suggests tags from the DB, which you
 can then select by clicking on the pop-up list.

 Note that except for adding new tags to the DB, all of the dynamic
 functionality is pure !JavaScript, not AJAX. Anyway, for purposes of this
 project, the "add tags to the database" part could wait until the post is
 saved and forego AJAX.

 I think for me, the easiest way to approach this project would be to merge
 parts of these two tags into a new plugin with the specified
 functionality. Adding it to the core is somehow more difficult for me to
 conceive -- I'm not sure where to put all the pieces, such as !JavaScript
 functions needed, etc. I might be able to get back to it later this week
 or sometime soon, but other work is calling, sorry!
