 @boonebgorges:
 In this patch I implemented your suggestions regarding using arrays for
 the tag data as well as splitting the foreach loop.

 > If we're going to pass structured data around, let's do it in arrays
 rather than objects. This is more in keeping with practice throughout WP.
 >
 > I'm not sure I see the value in *returning* structured data from the
 function. The purpose of the function is to generate markup; changing it
 to return structured data in an arbitrary format suggests the need for
 another function. That being said, I don't think another function is
 really necessary. How about this: Break the `foreach ( $tags as $key =>
 $tag )` loop into two loops.
