Comment (by johnbillion):

 ''Indeed, categories are not tags. They will not be used as such
 regardless of where they are stored.''

   ''That tags are not categories is acknowledged.''

 Changesets [5110] and [5111] are trainwrecks which completely go against
 the whole "tags are not categories" thing.

  * Why are tag permalinks the same as category permalinks?
  * Why does the proposed default theme in [5111] treat tags as categories?
  * Why are tags listed under `Manage -> Categories` when tags aren't
 categories?
  * Why does the tag archive have a title of "Archive for the 'whatever'
 category" when tags aren't categories?

 I appreciate that this is a preliminary implementation, but can somebody
 please explain to me in what way these tags work differently to
 categories?

 Is support for viewing posts by multiple tags (eg. posts tagged with x and
 y, like del.icio.us) planned?
