Comment (by ryan):
Here's an untested, partial patch that lays some groundwork for using the
categories table for tags. A tagged_count field in the categories table
tracks number of posts/pages using the tag and a new post2tag associates
posts to tags.
I'm thinking queries for categories should query both categories and tags.
category_name would match a proper category named "foo" or a tag named
"foo" (which are the same object in the DB). Given one post categorized as
"foo" and another tagged as "foo", a category query for "foo" would match
both. This means that the /category/foo/ permalink is both a category and
tag permalink. The user could set the permalink to be /tag/foo/ if so
desired.
As for template functions, there will be separate API for tags so that
themes can display category and tag info for a post separately. We might
want a way for themes to say "combine tags and categories" so that they
can exclusively use the category template functions. In this situation,
get_the_category(), for example, would return both tags and categories.
