Tags are not part of PyBlosxom core. The only way to get tags functionality is with one of the various tags plugins out there. I use the one I wrote which is in git master. Categories are part of PyBlosxom core. Since tags are implemented as a plugin, you can add additional functionality to the plugin to get what you're looking for. It definitely doesn't do any of the things you're asking about currently. On my blog, I use categories and tags. Tags for user navigation and categories for loosely breaking up all the entries in my blog into smaller sub-directories on the file-system.
