Hi,
The problem with too many tags is one of maintenance. Each tag you write becomes part of your bespoke project 'language'. With large groups producing many tens or hundreds of tags it can become a nightmare for new staff. Far better to stick to the core tags, and struggle not to add many new ones of your own. Think of it another way, each tag is exactly like you adding to html for your own project. Remember the horror of IE v's Netscape when html diverged - that is exactly what a project is doing by writing their own tags. New project members will hate it. BUT, some ten or so custom tags will make your project a joy and there is no downside. OTOH, if its your project, and you don't have to worry about maintenance (!) then do anything you want.
