 It is bad form that the '''get_the_tag_list()''' relies on global
 variables to retrive tag information about a post.  What if you want tag
 information about a post OTHER than the current post?  The
 '''get_the_category_list()''' function is nearly identical in purpose, yet
 it does not suffer from this same restriction.

 Compare the arguments here:

 To here:
 http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_category_list

 I would expect these functions to have nearly identical inputs.  If I am
 manually iterating over a list of post IDs (i.e. not in the loop), then
 it's a challenge to get the tag information here.
