 Tag as a core functionality: +1

 UTW have some problems/limitations that needs to be fixed, and the schema
 is rather poor to be used as a base. In order to implement this as a core
 feature, the database table should be modified so tags can have a "nice
 name" and the proper "tag slug" (for permalinks use), as we currently have
 in posts.

 The UI should be rather simple, I'm for the delicious implementation,
 suggest feature and existing tags list should be included as well, plus a
 way to add complex tags as Flickr uses.

 Regarding themes and plugins, the API should be really simple and the
 schema could be something like this,


 {{{
 tag_id
 tag_name
 tag_slug
 tag_count
 }}}


 With that simple, yet powerful structure you can build a decent API, plus,
 we will need some hooks in the admin UI in order to allow developers to
 add some extra features, and some options to configure basic functionality
 of the feature.
