Comment (by markjaquith):

 Ryan,

 For synonyms, you could just include a "synonym_of" column (which would
 store the lower-case-dashed form of the tag that the current tag should
 point to).  You don't have to populate it in core, and I don't think that
 functionality needs to be in core, but having the blank column there goes
 a long way toward making sure that various third party solutions will
 inter-operate.  See: comment_parent for another good example of "if you do
 it, use this" sort of pointers.

 UTW with its bells and whistles isn't going away, and it'd be great if it
 could be converted to use the WP tags table and just layer on the
 additional functionality.
