I thought that's what categories were for. (grouping of feeds)   We could
support both, but a clear definition of what a tag is and what a category
is should be made.

Here is my crazy brainstorming of what a tag could be.

1.  tag attach to item
2.  tag attach to feed
3.  tag attach to tag
4.  tag attach to category
5.  tag attach to search result

So, I've partially implemented #1.  Which of the others listed really
represent what a tag *IS*?   I thought about implementing tags as only #5=
.
 Then, the tag is stored as a list of search criteria.  The nice thing
about doing this is it allows the user create a tag using any of the abov=
e
criteria, at the same time.  Tags could be made this flexible.  Do we nee=
d
them to be?  Am I completely off base on what a tag is supposed to
accomplish?

How many levels should the category tree support?  Can a category contain
feeds and other categories at the same time?
