What is the purpose of tagging? Fast personal categorization, semantics, knowledge sharing, interoperability for future p2p distributed settings? Should tags be used for only describing aboutness of a resource or should we allow other characteristics and qualities? There are many questions to ask. I am currently developing a socio-semantic collaborative tagging system.  It let users create a shared tag ontology and create relations between the tags.  <a href="http://www.fuzzzy.com/">www.fuzzzy.com</a>.  Check it out.

I need to decide whether spaces are allowed, allowed characters in general, max length of a tag etc. While the discussion about how to discover equivalent tags is interesting, interoperability on a technical level is step one.

However, I've heard this over and over again. Why doesn't someone set forth a proposal for a standard instead of writing a long blog post about it? ;).  Regardless, you laid things out quite well.  The only problem I have with tags is dialectical differences. Things like slang and what not. Someone might tag something as "cool" to denote that it's interesting while someone might search "cool" to look for something related to coldness or cool colors if you're thinking Flickr etc. I think it'd be important for a tagging standard to include the approximately latitude and longitude or some sort of locational information with each individual tag denoting where it originated from, that way when searching using tags you can additionally apply a weight to the value of various tags based on the distance of the searcher from the origin of the tag.
